The UofR welcomes Fulbright scholars in a diverse range of disciplines across the natural sciences, humanities, social sciences, and applied fields, including interdisciplinary exploration.

The Chair will have opportunities to deliver lectures to students, the campus community, the general public, and otherwise support and contribute to the rich research culture at the University of Regina.
