Solutions for Challenges Around the World, Presented at Kent State
Fulbright Teaching Excellence and Achievement scholars presented their digital posters in White Hall on Friday, Oct. 27.
Their presentations showcased their plans to use technology to address issues in their home country, school or community.
The Fulbright Teaching Excellence and Achievement Program hosts international secondary school teachers from across the globe to participate in a six-week non-degree, non-credit academic program at Kent State University. The international participants arrived at Kent State University in September 2023 for a six-week professional development program.
This program is possible due to a $230,000 Fulbright grant awarded to principal investigator Amanda Johnson, Ph.D., director of the Gerald H. Read Center for International and Intercultural Education within Kent State’s College of Education, Health and Human Services, and co-principal investigator, Marty Jencius, Ph.D., associate professor of Counseling Education and Supervision in Kent State's School of Lifespan Development and Educational Sciences. The Kent State team recently received news that the grant was renewed for fall 2024.
For the Fall 2023 cohort, scholars come from the following countries: Argentina, Armenia, Bangladesh, Bolivia, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Egypt, El Salvador, Ghana, India, Iraq, Jordan, Mali, Moldova, Nigeria, Peru, Tunisia, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Uruguay, and Uzbekistan.
Kent State University is proud to foster a global community bonded by respect and welcomes students from around the world to our campuses and locations.
