Fulbright for faculty and administrators
info sessions Feb. 13 and 14
 Western Michigan University faculty and administrators are invited to learn about funding opportunities to conduct research, study or attend seminars overseas through the Fulbright Program in two February workshops hosted by the Haenicke Institute for Global Education.
Both workshops will cover the same material and will be held in the Bernhard Center. The first is planned for 4 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 13 in Room 211; the second workshop will be held at 3:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 14 in Room 204. No registration is required.
Dr. Michelle Metro-Roland, WMU’s campus Fulbright Scholar Campus Representative and director of faculty and global program development, will lead the workshops and present information on the types of awards that are typically funded and tips on how to craft a competitive application.
