2000-2001 Fulbrights

by TAA Staff FOR COLLEGE faculty members, administrators and independent scholars, the Fulbright Award represents a prestigious pat on the back, as well as an opportunity to teach and research abroad for one year. Since 1997, The Adjunct Advocate has combed the full list of Fulbright winners, released each winter by the Council for the International Exchange of Scholars, for the names of adjunct faculty winners. Since the magazine began tracking CIES results, adjunct faculty have won between five and six percent of Fulbrights awarded. According to Ms. Judy Pehrson, Director for External Relations at CIES, the organization would like to award a larger percentage of Fulbrights to adjunct faculty. However, traditionally, the number of applications from adjunct faculty has been small, usually fewer than 500 each year. CIES officials hope that by reaching out directly to adjunct faculty at conferences and through advertisements in higher education publications, the number of Fulbright Award applications from the group will rise. The 2000-2001 winners of 745 Fulbright teaching and research awards include 39 adjunct faculty. As in previous years, adjuncts snagged five percent of the total awards given. The Adjunct Advocate would like to congratulate these men and women, and encourage our readers to take advantage of the Fulbright program. In a forthcoming issue of the magazine, as we have done before, we will profile five of this year's adjunct faculty Fulbright winners.
