As a lecturer in the Education department and the Director of Teacher Education, I would like to add a “shout out” here to our Education department which is often a direct link to the Fulbright ETA program. At least one-third to one-half of Fulbright recipients in recent years have been Education minors. Our Education program has strong connections to the local community through 30-hour field placements in all of our courses. We also guide students through two options for minors — Ed Studies and Teacher Education — both of which align extremely well with Fulbright ETA opportunities. Our program is founded on (as stated in our department’s mission statement): social justice, reflection and engagement, civic action, and a passion for learning, all of which are explicitly articulated and integrated throughout our minors, guiding our students toward rich experiences beyond graduation, including the Fulbright experience.
