Telluride House offers great flexibility to faculty guests. With enough notice, terms of residence are extremely flexible, and in some cases have even been renewed for a second academic year.
Interested in applying to live at Telluride House as a faculty guest? We are always looking for faculty or visiting artists to live at the House for one semester or the entire academic year!
"As a senior professor, four decades (give or take a few decades) older than my student house-mates in Telluride House, I hereby testify: Telluride students are serious students, smart and articulate, qualities that are selected for in the application process for residence in TH; they are also interesting people, having academic concentrations from many parts of the university community; and the house is amazingly quiet—I work in my suite, which is spacious and comfortable (two large rooms and a private bathroom). I have enjoyed living in TH for two Fall semesters as I transition to a different life away from Ann Arbor and U-M. I highly recommend the experience." - Norman Yoffee '09-11
"I had a great year at Telluride. The intellectual exchanges I had with the students were some of the best I've had in 10 years as a professor at Michigan." - Scott Kurashige '09-10
"My time in Telluride House has exceeded all expectations, which were at no point low. That the house is such a success is no surprise once you meet the students. The house consists of a truly remarkable group of both scholars and citizens, all of whom I hold in the highest regard. They manage to create an intellectual and social community that never fails to be stimulating, and all aspects of my stay here have been delightful. Living at Telluride House will undoubtedly be amongst the fondest memories of my time in Ann Arbor." - Matt Stover '10-11
"The Michigan Telluride House community provides a supportive and rewarding environment for faculty fellows, living among students and sharing meals and conversation. The accommodations for faculty are clean and private within the larger student community. While faculty are encouraged to participate broadly in activities organized by the Telluride community, that does not mean that it is incompatible with teaching and research preparation at Telluride House. I found my experience to be quiet, respectful, engaging and enjoyable." - Jamie Gillies '09-11
"I stayed at Telluride House in September/October 2010. I had a wonderful time. Everyone was welcoming: the students, the other faculty members (Matt and Norman), and the staff (including Shannon and Peg in the office, Jack in the kitchen, and Rick keeping everything going). I enjoyed spending time with the students, especially at meal time. I was supposed to engage students intellectually - to their benefit. The reverse happened - the students' conversation was to my benefit. Such a stimulating group. The PubSpeaks were a delight." - Jennifer Archer '10
