International Visiting Scholars
Division of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources
International Visiting Scholars are an important part of the academic life in the Division of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources. The visiting scholars listed below have come to Oklahoma State University from around the world to collaborate on teaching, research and extension programs in agriculture.
The International Visiting Scholars program in the Division of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources is meant to foster greater interest in academic collaboration at the international level.
A visiting scholar in DASNR is assigned an academic mentor. Visiting Scholars are usually in residence from 6 weeks to 24 months. During that time they are expected to collaborate on research projects and/or participate in curriculum development or extension programming, contribute to the programs of the DASNR faculty member with whom they are collaborating, give invited lectures or seminars, and exchange expertise with members of the OSU faculty and other visiting scholars. Visiting scholars are also encouraged to reference their experience at Oklahoma State University in scholarly publications and to develop longer term linkages between their home institutions and the Division of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources. The more independent and proactive a visiting scholar is, the more likely they are to have a positive experience.
To apply to be a visiting scholar, please submit the following required information: a proposal describing your interests in teaching, research or extension; a resume or curriculum vitae, and evidence of funding to cover the complete costs of the visiting scholar experience. The following optional information will help to support your application: a letter of recommendation from your home institution, and information on any prior relationships you may have developed with OSU faculty. Please send completed applications directly to the DASNR faculty member with whom you would like to collaborate with a copy to David.Henneberry@OkState.edu.
Potential visiting scholars should be aware that DASNR faculty may not always have the time to accept the responsibility of mentoring. It is the responsibility of the applicant to establish contact with their potential mentor and to request that they be accepted as a visiting scholar.
The mentoring fee for a visiting scholar is $3,000 per semester (if the scholar has not been admitted to OSU and enrolled as a full time student in a CASNR graduate program).
