2004 Fellows

On Monday, August 30 at a luncheon in the Faculty Club, seven new Vincentian Research Fellows were welcomed by Senior Fellows, Deans of the University and the Vincentian Center for Church and Society. Each new Fellow described his/her research interests and dialogued with current and senior fellows on the manner in which the Vincentian mission of the University can be advanced in the academic sector. This is the fifth class of Vincentian Fellows. To learn more about the Fellows’ program and the 2004 class, click on photos.

(Click image to view full size) In 2000, the Vincentian Center for Church and Society created the Vincentian Fellows’ Research Program to provide an interdisciplinary forum for faculty whose research interests advance the social justice orientation of St. John’s University, and to encourage research, reflection and programming on issues of poverty.  In addition, the Center also elected to name Fellows whose scholarship could advance clerical formation and relate religion and science.  These foci reflect the spirit and accomplishments of St. Vincent de Paul (1581-1660).
