KHHP Visiting Professor Program
The State of Michigan’s Martin Luther King Jr. - Dolores Huerta - Morris Hood Jr. - Rosa Parks Visiting Professors Program (KHHP VP program) is intended to augment the number of instructors in higher education institutions in the State representing diverse groups. Preference may not be given to a visiting faculty on the basis of race, color, ethnicity, gender, or national origin. Institutions should encourage applications from applicants who would otherwise not be adequately represented in the faculty.
In support of this mission, the legislature created the Visiting Professors Program to increase the number of instructors who can serve as role models to students from academically or economically disadvantaged groups. The Visiting Professors Program provides a vital demonstration that a diverse pool of talented academics does exist.
Departments or programs wishing to bring a speaker to campus to present on research or topics not currently provided by a member of our faculty please consider applying for funding through the KHHP Visiting Professor program in the Office of Diversity and Inclusion. This program can match 50% of the funding for travel, lodging, meals, and stipend up to $4,000 for the visiting professor. The department or program must provide the other 50% of the funding.
Please contact Jamie White for the guidelines, application instructions, and application.
