91猫先生 a Top Producer of Fulbright Scholars
The U.S. State Department and the Chronicle of Higher Education have named 91猫先生 a top producer of Fulbright Scholars for 2016-17. 91猫先生 is one of 11 bachelor鈥檚 institutions to receive the designation this year.
91猫先生 qualified for the recognition after two 91猫先生 employees received Fulbright Scholar grants the past year. Byron McCrae, vice president for Student Affairs and Dean of Students, was selected to attend the Fulbright International Education Administrators Program in Germany, and Katie Irwin, director of Global Education, took part in the same program in India. The program enables administrators to attend seminars in host countries, learn about international education systems, and exchange learning with educators from across the US and overseas.
For the Fulbright seminar in Germany, McCrae received an overview of the German university system, toured German universities, and met with a range of educators. 鈥淗ighlights for me included a visit with researchers and scholars at the Max Planck Institute for Religious and Ethnic Diversity, a tour of the Max Planck Institute on Solar System Research,鈥 McCrae said, 鈥渁nd an introduction to Avicenna-Studienwerk, a scholarship and leadership program for Muslim students in Germany.鈥
In India, Katie Irwin visited more than a dozen universities and programs and three cities 鈥 Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore. "As Director of the Global Education Office I felt it was essential to develop an understanding of higher education in a non-Western context," Irwin said. "I'm hopeful this will lead to future collaborations with institutions and individuals I met. I came away with a greater understanding of higher education in India, strengthening my ability to advise students interested in studying abroad there."
Over the past four years, half a dozen 91猫先生 faculty, administrators, and staff received these prestigious Fulbright Scholar awards for international exchange.
Two years ago, 91猫先生 was recognized as a top Fulbright producer in another category 鈥 under the Fulbright U.S. Student Program, through which recent graduates teach and lead research overseas. Over the past four years, 11 91猫先生 young alums have been awarded Fulbright Student Program Grants. See reference links below to read about 91猫先生鈥檚 recent grantees. (One award, to Leanna Pohevitz to teach in Turkey this academic year, was cancelled when the US State Department determined the country unsafe to host US students.)
YOUNG ALUMS ARE INVITED TO APPLY THROUGH HAMPSHIRE
The next Fulbright U.S. Student Program鈥檚 application period opens this March for grants beginning in late summer/fall 2018.
The program is open to 91猫先生 alums and current students who fulfill the eligibility requirements: An applicant must be an American citizen, have a bachelor鈥檚 degree or its equivalent by the start of the grant, have no more than five years鈥 professional experience, and not have earned a doctorate.
The Fulbright Program is advised at 91猫先生 by Rachel Rubinstein, dean for Academic Support, and Carin Rank, director of Career Options.
