The Katharine Houghton Hepburn Center will welcome the first Hepburn Fellows to campus this academic year. They are
- Cynthia Eyakuze-Di Domenico,
Acting Director, the Francophone Africa Program at Family Care International
- Judy Wicks, Owner-founder of the White Dog Cafe and co-founder and co-chair of the Business Alliance for Local Living Economies and the Sustainable Business Network of Greater Philadelphia
- Susan Wood, Research Professor, the George Washington University School of Public Health and Health Services
The Hepburn Fellows Program brings to Bryn Mawr’s campus individuals who bridge academics and practice in nontraditional or unconventional ways in any of the three broad areas the Hepburn Center supports: film and theater, women’s health and civic engagement. Fellows may be at any point in their career trajectories. Fellows will be resident on campus during the academic year, drawing on the resources of the college and the region to do their own work. They will also be expected to make substantive contributions to the campus community. For instance, they might offer readings, master classes, dinners, performances, or collaborative work in classes or with student interns.
The Katharine Houghton Hepburn Center will provide Fellows with a stipend, funding for travel to and from the campus, accommodations, and a budget for travel and research during their Fellowship. Residencies may range from many days to a full semester, and will likely average a month in length. A residency might also be split in various ways.
Thanks to a generous gift from an alumna, the Center can bring three Fellows to campus each of the next two years.
