About Hosting

As a leadership organization, the AOA coordinates logistics for the AOA Traveling Fellowships. Host institutions have a significant impact on the success of the fellowship and providing a compelling experience for the selected fellows.

Host responsibilities vary from fellowship to fellowship, but share some basic obligations:

  • Coordinate academic and social programs for visiting Fellows during 2-3 days at your institution
  • Provide housing for the visiting Fellows
  • Provide meals for the visiting Fellows
  • Coordinate ground transportation logistics for Fellows from/to the nearest airport (Note: air transportation is not a Host's responsibility)

In addition to the practical considerations, host responsibilities include planning experiences that will create both professional and personal memories.
