UGA Franklin-Morris International Scholars Program

The University of Georgia recently formalized an agreement with the University of Liverpool to further deepen ongoing collaborations between the two universities by specifying joint research activities, faculty and staff exchanges and graduate student exchanges:

"The UGA-Liverpool partnership has developed over the past several years into a high-bandwidth relationship spanning multiple departments and colleges, and the University of Liverpool has become a very trusted and valued partner," Gatewood said. "It is certainly a model for successful transatlantic cooperation."

The UGA Franklin-Morris International Scholars Program will host one scholar in residence during the summer 2014. Anna Bocking-Welch, a lecturer at the University of Liverpool, will teach a course on "Humanitarianism and the British Empire: A Complicated Relationship."

And in 2014, UGA and the University of Liverpool will develop the One Health symposium as part of the International Festival of Business in Liverpool.

Special thanks to Franklin College Associate Dean Noel Fallows, whose ongoing efforts are crucial to the partnership and exchanges between our universities.
