New Fulbright Club Formed
“Since the Fulbright program is designed to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and people of other countries, and as FDU strives to educate world citizens, it is logical that faculty and students would be encouraged to partake in the Fulbright experience,” said Elise Salem, associate provost for global learning (Metro/Flor) and English (Flor).
As part of this new momentum promoting Fulbright, Willard Gingerich, University provost and senior vice president for academic affairs (Metro/Flor), has formed a Fulbright Club consisting of faculty and students who are current or former Fulbrighters. The group will meet regularly to discuss how Fulbright alumni can help to internationalize the campuses and to share ideas on increasing student and faculty engagement in Fulbright programs. Membership in the Fulbright Club is open to anyone in the FDU community who has had a Fulbright experience, either as a student or faculty member.
Present members are Peter Benson, English (Metro); Gingerich; Robert Houle, history (Flor); Laila Khreisat, computer science (Flor); Paul Hooper Mayhew, English literature (Metro); Riad Nasser, sociology (Flor); Bamidele Ojo, political science (Metro); Juan Carlos Orejarena, business, Petrocelli College (Metro); Richard Ottaway, retired management (Flor); and graduate students Abdulsatter Al-Yamani (Saudi Arabia), Martin Heidan (Germany), Nicole Nowak (Germany) and Maoon Rashed (Pakistan).
