Faculty invited to learn more about U.S. Fulbright Faculty Award Program

The Office of the Provost is holding an information session and faculty roundtable on the U.S. Fulbright Faculty Award Program on Feb. 24 from 3:30-4:30 p.m. in Wilmeth Active Learning Center, Room 3138. The session will be led by Chris Lukasik, provost’s fellow for Fulbright faculty awards, and will be followed by a Q&A.

“Purdue continues to be a top-producing institution for the Fulbright Scholar Program,” Lukasik says. “Over half of all Purdue faculty applicants for the Fulbright Scholar award program end up winning.”

Faculty interested in developing or expanding their international profile will learn more about the two types of Fulbright awards programs: 1) Fulbright Scholar Award and 2) Fulbright Specialist Award. Lukasik says that attendees will have their questions answered and some misconceptions clarified.

While the Faculty Scholar Award generally involves teaching and/or research activities, the Fulbright Specialist Award supports projects such as delivering a seminar or workshop, consulting with faculty or workforce development, lecturing at the undergraduate or graduate level, and conducting needs assessment for a program or institution.
