New Scholars Fund
In an effort to support Reed’s academic program and introduce our students and colleagues to emerging scholars from underrepresented groups, the Office for Institutional Diversity supports proposals from academic departments to bring exciting new scholars to campus.
The goal of this program is to complement the host department’s curricular offerings, introduce our students to distinctive ideas and scholarship in their fields of study, and to bring to Reed some of the country’s most exciting, thought-provoking emerging scholars. It is a secondary hope that this program will help Reed’s extraordinary academic program become better known among the nation’s diverse cross-section of new scholars.
The New Scholars Series program provides academic departments the opportunity to bring newly minted PhD and ABD scholars from underrepresented groups to campus. This program introduces Reed students and faculty to emerging scholars while also introducing Reed's extraordinary academic program to a diverse cross-section of new scholars. The goal of this program is to complement an academic department's curricular offerings, introduce Reed students to distinctive ideas and scholarship in their fields of study, and to bring to Reed some of the country's most exciting, thought-provoking emerging scholars. Additionally, new scholars have the opportunity to check out Reed, learn more about our academic program, and consider us for future permanent faculty positions.
