Pomfret School welcomes many distinguished guests to the school each year.
The Schwartz Visiting Fellow Program began in 1988, when brothers Michael L. Schwartz ’66 and Eric A. Schwartz ’69, both former trustees, awarded Pomfret a generous annual grant to begin a visiting fellowship program. The Schwartz brothers’ aim was to design a program to significantly enhance the intellectual and cultural environment of the school community by inviting a distinguished person or persons to lecture, discuss, and work with students and faculty.
