How to participate in the Reynolds Visiting Business Journalism Professor program

By Reynolds Staff on Apr 30, 2012 in TrendingTopic, Visiting Professors Program

Accredited journalism programs may apply for a grant that will place visiting business journalism professors at selected universities across the country. The next availability is for the January 2014 semester.

The grant of up to $50,000 per school is funded by the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation with the goal of helping to launch business journalism programs at campuses around the United States.

The first four schools hosted a visiting professor in the spring 2012 semester. Three more universities are hosting professors starting in January 2013. The professors, high-level business journalists, teach two business journalism courses each during their semester in residence. The Reynolds Foundation grant covers most salary and program expenses as well as provides funding for practicing business journalists to visit the campus during the semester.

Individuals who wish to apply to be a visiting professor may submit an application at any time. For more details, go to How to Apply: Visiting Professorships.
