Six faculty earn Fulbright Scholar awards
For more than 50 years the Fulbright Scholar Program has offered grants for college and university faculty, as well as for professionals and independent scholars, to lecture and conduct research in countries around the globe.
The program’s goal is "to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries…and thus to assist in the development of friendly, sympathetic, and peaceful relations between the United States and other countries of the world."
The Council for International Exchange of Scholars (CIES) administers the Fulbright Scholar Program.

Thomas M. Cook, professor of preventive medicine and environmental health, will conduct research at the Institute for Clinical and Preventive Medicine in Bratislava, Slovak Republic, from Jan.-June 2000;
