Does "various areas" refer to " writers, economists, scientists, composers and actors"?
"There are also many other famous senior and junior members of the University in various areas, such as writers, economists, scientists, composers and actors."

Hello, I'm not quite clear about the relationship between "such as" and its previous part in the above sentence. Does "various areas" refer to "writers, economists, scientists, composers and actors"? Or "writers, economists, scientists, composers and actors" should be the example of "famous senior and junior members"?

Thank you.
