Southwestern Network
One of the core objectives of the EU Center at the University of Oklahoma is to create an effective outreach network in the Southwest. In order to facilitate exchanges of faculty, students, and EU visitors, we have designated several EU Center Fellows at partner institutions throughout the region.

There are 8 participating EU Center Faculty Fellows at universities in 5 states:
