Asian Scholar-in-Residence
The Asian Scholar-in-Residence (SIR) Program brings visiting scholars and professionals from abroad to lecture at U.S. colleges and universities for one semester or one academic year.  The program is especially appropriate for small liberal arts colleges, minority-serving institutions, and community colleges, many of which do not often have the opportunity to host visiting scholars.  Based on university requests for scholars in a particular field, Chinese professors are selected by nomination.  Up to 6 Chinese scholars participate in this program, yearly.
