The Program offers Fellows the opportunity to collaborate and engage with professors and researchers from the Darla Moore School of Business as well as the community of stakeholders and partners associated with the Folks Center for International Business and the Sonoco International Business Department. Depending on the proposed project and area of interest, the on-campus residency of the Sonoco Visiting Fellow is expected to last anywhere from a minimum of 2 weeks to a maximum of a full semester. Fellows can complete their visits during a single period or break them up into multiple periods (ideally no less than one week for each period). A residency can include presenting an academic seminar, meeting with groups of students, offering guest lectures or courses, as well as participating in a forum for the broader Moore School community. Fellows would be expected to collaborate with relevant professors and students in such activities as developing a research project, course content, executive program or seminar/conference. Both theoretical and applied projects are welcomed. A competitive honorarium is associated with the Fellowship. The Folks Center, in collaboration with the IB Department, will facilitate the use of University of South Carolina research resources, an office, and administrative support.
