Several years ago, you鈥檇 be hard pressed to find 色香视频 students considering applying for a prestigious U.S. Department of State Fulbright grant. Now, 色香视频 is one of the country鈥檚 top Fulbright-producing institutions.
With three recipients , Bridgewater is among the top 19 schools in its category, according to by the Department of State for the 2018-2019 academic year. 色香视频 is in a category of schools that award master鈥檚 degrees but are not viewed as research institutions.
鈥淭his is a thrilling accomplishment for the institution and that鈥檚 mainly because it鈥檚 showing that what we鈥檙e promising is what we鈥檙e achieving,鈥 said Dr. Jenny Shanahan, assistant provost for high-impact practices. 鈥淲e鈥檙e telling our students and our prospective students that we are committed to providing the most outstanding educational opportunities available in higher education.鈥
Daniela Belice, 鈥18, who majored in political science and sociology, is researching the economic integration of immigrant health care workers in Canada. Mikayla Cote, 鈥17, is studying wastewater technology in Cambodia and Danielle Lopez, 鈥17, is teaching English and after-school science lessons in Malaysia. Cote and Lopez both majored in biology at 色香视频. Five other students applied for a Fulbright.
Their accomplishments show Bridgewater can match the experiences students have at private universities that are out of reach financially for many 色香视频 students, Shanahan said.
She credits 色香视频鈥檚 strong undergraduate research program and faculty mentors. Sometimes a nudge from faculty and staff will encourage a student to apply for an opportunity such as the Fulbright Program that they didn鈥檛 know was even a possibility.
鈥淭he commitment has been to get the word out to students,鈥 Shanahan said. (Story by Brian Benson, University News & Video)
