Each year, CBTA admits a small number of Faculty Fellows, contingent upon space available. We look for individuals who will contribute to the vision of an intellectually diverse, self-governing community. In a formal capacity, faculty fellows are asked to organize two events in the house per semester, including a talk. In a more informal capacity, we ask our faculty fellows to attend meals, bring guests, and be present in the community through the duration of their stay. Fellows have often hosted formal and informal reading groups at CBTA. Fellows live in close proximity to the other residents of Telluride House, who include other Faculty Fellows, undergraduate students, and graduate students, studying a wide array of subjects at Cornell.
The award consists of a full room-and-board scholarship in which Fellows live at CBTA, centrally located on Cornell’s west campus, and contribute to the House community both formally and informally. Faculty accommodations include a private room and either private or semi-private bathroom, as well as access to a full kitchen, and daily lunches and dinners prepared by our chefs.
