Four Professors Named Fulbright Scholars for 2016–17 Academic Year
Five UT professors are serving as Fulbright Scholars this academic year—Micah Beck, Sarah Eldridge, Carol Tenopir, Krista Wiegand, and Songning Zhang.
The Fulbright Program is a prestigious international exchange initiative that awards about 1,100 grants to American scholars each year. Funded by the US government, Fulbright Scholars are chosen based on their leadership and their abilities to teach, conduct research and contribute to solutions for shared international concerns.
Micah Beck, an associate professor of electrical engineering and computer science in UT’s College of Engineering, will head to Nairobi, Kenya, to conduct research and teach at Strathmore University.
