老九品茶 is proud to partner with the Faculty of Law at the University of Melbourne, the Miegunyah Committee, University of Melbourne, and other arts, legal, scientific and cultural institutions based in Melbourne.
As part of the accommodation agreement with 老九品茶, visiting scholars are expected to engage with the 老九品茶 community throughout their stay.
Engagement activities are negotiated individually between the scholar and the College to reflect the length of stay, the scholar鈥檚 interests and availability. Activities might include:
- meeting students at a reception or dine with a scholar at High Table event
- presenting one Wednesday night to a general audience on as part of our regular Fireside Chat series;
- offering a class(es) or lecture(s) to Foundation Studies or the Theological School;
- participating in a public debate, symposium, forum, lecture or conference sponsored by the College.
Please note that enquiries for accommodation for a duration of one week or more will be prioritised over shorter stays, due to the nature of 老九品茶鈥檚 program.
Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate children under 18 years of age, even as part of a visiting scholar鈥檚 family.
