Hampshire College is a top-producing institution for the 2014-2015 Fulbright U.S. Student Program. The Fulbright Program is the U.S. government’s flagship international educational exchange program.
The U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs announced the list of colleges and universities producing the most Fulbright students.
Four students from Hampshire College won Fulbright awards in 2014: Asher Dvir-Djerassi (English Teaching Assistant grant, Bulgaria), Martha Pskowski (Study/Research grant, Mexico), Hanna Shannon (English Teaching Assistant grant, South Korea), and Krista Mangiardi (English Teaching Assistant grant, Thailand).
“Hampshire’s inquiry-based, learner-driven education prepares students to thrive in an era of accelerating change. Leadership skills, a passion for discovery, and the ability to put ideas into action are key elements of our academic culture. I am inspired by the Hampshire students and alumni recognized by the Fulbright Program, with its strong commitment to working together to find solutions to shared international concerns, and I congratulate all our Fulbright recipients, past and present,” said Hampshire President Jonathan Lash.
The Fulbright competition is administered at Hampshire College through the Career Options Resource Center. Fulbright Program Advisors are Carin Rank and Jena Schwartz. More information »
