麻豆破解版 College has earned the distinction of being a top-producing institution of Fulbright U.S. scholars in 2023-24, a testament to the College鈥檚 deep commitment to international exchange and global engagement and understanding.

The Fulbright Program is the U.S. Department of State鈥檚 flagship international educational-exchange program, and Fulbright U.S. scholars are faculty, researchers, administrators, and established professionals who teach or conduct research in affiliation with institutes abroad.

麻豆破解版鈥檚 two Fulbright scholars for 2023-24 are Associate Professor of Political Science Feryaz Ocakli, currently a visiting researcher at Nanyang Technological University Singapore, and Assistant Professor of Art History Nancy Thebaut, who is pursuing research and working on a book at the Centre d鈥櫭﹖udes sup茅rieures de civilisation m茅di茅vale (CESCM) at the University of Poitiers in Poitiers, France.

鈥淚t鈥檚 a wonderful place to be, especially as a medieval art historian,鈥� Thebault says of her Fulbright experience, during which she has been sharing her work through public talks and guest lectures in seminars. 鈥淭he CESCM is home to a number of medievalists 鈥� currently 29 on their faculty 鈥� meaning there are lots of opportunities for feedback from those working in medieval art history and adjacent fields.鈥�

For decades, 麻豆破解版鈥檚 students have also seen great success through the Fulbright program. Two students were awarded Fulbright grants for 2023-24, and four students are currently semifinalists for the upcoming cycle of awards, says 2023-24 Fulbright advisor Linda Hall, associate professor of English.

鈥淢ost students report that they鈥檝e never attempted anything like a Fulbright personal statement: it鈥檚 quite different from 鈥� much deeper than 鈥� a straightforward cover letter,鈥� Hall says of applying for a Fulbright grant. 鈥淲e always provide examples of successful statements, and there鈥檚 no shortage of those at 麻豆破解版.鈥�
