This year, Cleveland State University produced the second most Fulbright scholars in the nation, matching George Washington University, University of North Carolina and University of Florida, all of which produced six Fulbright scholars for the 2010-2011 academic year.
Coming in third place with five Fulbrights were Harvard University and Stanford University.
"This is a significant accomplishment for CSU because it demonstrates our commitment to expanding the University's international reach," CSU President Ronald Berkman said in a statement. "In doing so, we can further enrich our students with the experiences and international relationships of our faculty."
The Fulbright Program is the flagship international educational exchange program sponsored by the United States government. It is designed to increase mutual understanding among the people of the United States and those other countries. The Fulbright Program provides participants-chosen for their academic merit and leadership potential -- with the opportunity to study, teach and conduct research, exchange ideas and contribute to finding solutions to shared international concerns.
This year's CSU Fulbright scholars include Maria Angelova, Joshua Bagaka's and Mike Loovis from the College of Education and Human Services; Mike Lin and Victor Matos from the College of Business; and Robert Wei from the College of Sciences and Health Professions.
