Nicole Melius ’01, Amanda Olson ’06, Elizabeth Jacobson ’06 and Dana LaCuran ’06 recently received Fulbright scholarships for study overseas this fall.
Melius will travel to Germany and Olson, Jacobson and LaCuran will go to Austria, all to teach English through the Fulbright’s teaching assistantship program.
The quartet brings the total number of PLU students to receive the prestigious Fulbright Award to 71. Professor Emeriti Rodney Swenson coordinates the program through PLU’s Wang Center for International Programs, helping students tailor their applications and answering questions.
The Fulbright Program was founded in 1946 to promote "international good will through the exchange of students in the fields of education, culture, and science."
