Although none of this year's five Montgomery Fellows elected to remain on campus for more than a few days, the Montgomery Endowment continues to search for fellows that will stay in residence for an entire term.
Renowned anthropologist Richard Leakey, the most recent fellow, arrived on campus earlier this month, but only stayed for three days.
Other recent visitors, among them cellist Yo-Yo Ma, Polish politician and activist Lech Walesa and playwright Tom Mac Intyre, all remained on campus for a week or less.
Despite this year's lack of term-long visitors, Director of the Montgomery Endowment Barbara Gerstner said she remains committed to hosting fellows for extended periods of time.
"The Endowment was created for most fellows to stay varying lengths of time," Gerstner said.
