The Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program sends over 1,200 scholars and professionals each year to teach or conduct research in more than 125 countries around the world. Fulbright Scholars in the sciences have taught classes, helped with curriculum development, set up new programs, done original research, and engaged in collaborative work with international colleagues. This workshop will explore components of the Fulbright Scholar Program that contribute to faculty development and globalization of higher education. Special attention will be given to opportunities available for specialists in the sciences. The presentation will also include time for questions and discussion of opportunities with prospective applicants.
