"It will be learning experience for everybody, especially myself," Zeiler said. He joined the CU-Boulder baby直播app in 1990 and teaches classes on 20th century American history, U.S. diplomatic history and U.S. history since 1968.
Polly McLean, associate professor of journalism, will go to the University of Namibia in Windhoek, where she will lecture and do research on "Use of Media in Curriculum Development, Teaching Pedagogy and Student Learning."
McLean joined the CU baby直播app in 1984 and teaches courses on international communications, public opinion and mass media theory.
Susan Clarke, professor of political science, will go to the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands where she will hold the Thomas Jefferson Chair in American Social Studies.
Clarke joined the CU baby直播app in 1984 and her teaching and research interests center on public policy and urban politics, particularly issues of globalization and local democracy.
Marie-Ann de la Fuente, a doctoral candidate in environmental, population and organismic biology, was granted a Fulbright to study next year in Costa Rica. She will do ecology studies involving chemical and physical plant defenses.
John Lock, a graduating senior in chemical engineering, received a Fulbright grant to do further study in chemical engineering at the University of Karlsruhe in Germany.
The 1998-99 Fulbright program also will bring three visiting scholars from other countries to CU-Boulder. Fourteen international students will continue their studies at CU-Boulder as part of the Fulbright program in 1998-99.
The CU-Boulder participants are five of approximately 2,000 people who will travel abroad for the 1998-99 academic year through America's flagship educational exchange program. The Fulbright program was established in 1946 "to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries," and is sponsored by the U.S. Information Agency.
Former Fulbright program alumni include U.S. Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Nobel Prize winner Milton Friedman, historian John Hope Franklin, writers John Updike, Eudora Welty and Joseph Heller, musicians Aaron Copland and Anna Moffo, and journalists Roger Rosenblatt, Georgia Anne Geyer and Hedrick Smith.
