May 24, 2004

Bowling Green, Ky. - Judy Davison, assistant professor of Curriculum and Instruction at Western Kentucky University, has received a Fulbright Senior Specialists grant in Education at The University of Greenwich.

The Fulbright Senior Specialists Program offers two- to six-week grants to leading U.S. academics and professionals to support curricular and faculty development and institutional planning at academic institutions in 140 countries.

Created to complement the traditional Fulbright Scholar Program, the Senior Specialists Program aims at increasing the number of faculty and professionals who have the opportunity to go abroad on a Fulbright.

The Fulbright Scholar Program is sponsored by the United States Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and managed by the Council for International Exchange of Scholars (www.cies.org). The program's purpose is to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries.

Grantees also undertake new activities, ranging from conducting teacher training and developing and assessing curricula or educational materials to leading seminars or workshops or conducting needs assessments.
