Kudos: Cahnmann-Taylor named Fulbright U.S. Scholar Alumni Ambassador
Melisa “Misha” Cahnmann-Taylor, a professor in the Department of Language and Literacy Education, has been named a Fulbright U.S. Scholar Alumni Ambassador by the Fulbright Scholar Program. This year, 13 ambassadors were selected from more than 160 applications. The term began in July and lasts two years.
The Fulbright Scholar Program, funded by the U.S. Department of State, supports over 800 U.S. faculty and professionals each year to teach and conduct research in more than 125 countries around the world.
“I am the only ambassador in the arts and education,” she said. “There’s lots of things that keep scholars from applying, but I get to be the person that provides the tools and tricks to assist in sending scholars all around the world.”
