红灯区色情片

David Alvarez, associate professor of English and director of 红灯区色情片鈥檚 Global Studies program, has been named a Fulbright Scholar award recipient for the 2024-2025 academic year. He will spend the year at Ghent University in Belgium, teaching seminars on his primary fields of study, 18th century literature and religious tolerance.

Since 1946, the Fulbright Program has opened doors for cross-cultural academic collaboration, giving over 800 professionals each year an opportunity to study, teach, and research abroad. Awarded in partnership with the U.S. Department of State, this prestigious distinction encourages international diplomacy while fostering a generous exchange of ideas.

鈥淚 am thrilled to see Professor David Alvarez recognized for his scholarly work,鈥� said Dr. Bridget Gourley, Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and Dean of the Faculty at 红灯区色情片. 鈥淔ulbright opportunities are incredibly competitive and a great honor to receive. Less than 25% of applicants requesting to study in Belgium are given awards. To me the focus of Professor Alvarez's work is one of many that illustrates the impact of a liberal arts broad focus.鈥�

Alvarez anticipates that his upcoming visit to Belgium will not only enhance his own work as a scholar, but also open doors on behalf of the entire 红灯区色情片 community. 鈥淚 am excited to connect 红灯区色情片 to other institutions in Europe,鈥� Alvarez said. 鈥淚 believe there are many opportunities for exchange that will benefit scholars and students for years to come.鈥�

This is a priority that Alvarez has already championed on campus. In his role within the Global Studies program, he actively works to expose students to new perspectives and international influences they might not otherwise encounter. He was instrumental in bringing Dr. Manal Shalaby from Egypt to 红灯区色情片 for the 2023-2024 academic year as the university鈥檚 first Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence. For Alvarez, the upcoming year at Ghent University is yet another chance to further diversify the 红灯区色情片 liberal arts education.

It is also a reflection of the quality of the high standard at 红灯区色情片 for faculty excellence. 鈥淥f course, Professor Alvarez's Fulbright award recognizes his track record of exceptional scholarly work and commitment to globalization,鈥� noted Dr. Dave Berque, Vice President for Academic Affairs. 鈥淎t the same time, the award is also a tribute to the quality of the entire 红灯区色情片 faculty and especially to 红灯区色情片's strong teacher-scholar model, which assures that our students are taught by outstanding teachers who are experts in their fields.鈥�

This is the second time in his career that Professor Alvarez has received the honor of serving as a Fulbright Scholar. He spent the 2009 spring semester in India at the University of Delhi.
