Special Visiting Faculty Fellowships

At the 1998 Special Meeting of the Associated Kyoto Program's Board of Directors, the members of the Board voted to remember the work of Professor Robert Wood, who served as the Resident Director of the AKP in 1991-1992, by establishing the Robert Wood Memorial Visiting Faculty Fellow Award. In addition, the Board also established the Bardwell Smith Visiting Faculty Fellow Award to honor the contributions that Professor Smith has made and continues to make to the AKP since its inception in 1972. More recently, at the 2004 Special Meeting, the members of the Board created the Ray A. Moore Visiting Faculty Fellow Award to honor one of the founding fathers of the AKP. Below is a list of those who have received these Awards.
