Connecting across borders through research, travel, and academic exchange
The McDonnell Academy supports Scholars in traveling beyond St. Louis to attend conferences and professional development opportunities that enhance their academic research at WashU—while also building leadership skills, fostering community, and expanding professional networks.
Across disciplines and borders, WashU and McDonnell Academy faculty are driving research, dialogue, and discovery —shaping global conversations and strengthening the academic collaborations that define the McDonnell Academy.
As global representatives of WashU’s McDonnell Academy, Scholars and faculty bring a unique perspective—fully invested in our mission and eager to elevate our visibility and impact wherever their journeys take them.
