Since 2009, the U-M African Presidential Scholars (UMAPS) Program brings early career faculty from African universities to Ann Arbor for residencies generally lasting six months. While on campus, the scholars, representing a wide range of disciplines, further their research with a U-M faculty mentor.

This colloquium series is where each UMAPS fellow will present their work in a session of an ongoing monthly series which is designed to increase skills in effective communication, promote dialogue on topics, and share the UMAPS scholar’s research with the larger U-M community.
