Welcome

“At any one time, up to twenty outstanding intellectuals from across the globe hold the title of Andrew Dickson White Professor-at-Large and are considered full members of the Cornell faculty. During their six-year term appointment, each Professor-at-Large visits the campus for approximately one week in each three-year period while Cornell classes are in session during the academic year under a single mandate – to enliven the intellectual and cultural life of the university.” There are currently 19 active Professors-at-Large, representing five disciplines: Cornell University’s Andrew Dickson White Professors-at-Large Program has been called one of the truly imaginative projects in American universities, bringing a steady stream of the world’s foremost scholars, thinkers, and artists to the Cornell campus.
