This program was initiated by the 50 Year Club as the Senior Scholar Program. The University Faculty with the leadership of Academic Vice President Steve Stahl and Father Fleming suggested a change of name to Alumni Scholar in Residence in order to not limit the choices to senior alumni. The scholar will be a visiting professor to the University for up to one week and all expenses will be donated by the scholar. A committee composed of alumni and faculty will make recommendations to the WJU administration of the individuals who will be considered as future Alumni Scholars. The initial scholar will be Ed Shahady and he will be on campus Oct 30 thru Nov 4th. This year will serve as the pilot project and what is learned from this year will guide future Scholar activities.
