UAA student Charles Beattie named 2010-11 Fulbright Scholar
by Kathleen McCoy |
UAA student Charles Beattie has been announced as a Fulbright Scholar for 2010-2011.
Charles will work as a teaching assistant in Germany during the next academic year.
He is a graduate of the Department of Languages, German being his major. He also holds
a bachelor's degree in Mathematics. In January 2010, Charles joined the Master of
Arts in Teaching program at UAA, where he is currently a student.
Both Charles and his professor and mentor, Natasa Masanovic, who is the German program
coordinator and adviser in the Department of Languages, will be formally recognized
at the UAA Undergraduate Research Awards ceremony on April 23 at 3:30 p.m. in the
Gorsuch Commons.
"Receiving this prestigious scholarship is a wonderful accomplishment, and I am very
proud of Charles," said Masanovic.
The Fulbright Scholar Program is administered by the Council for International Exchange
of Scholars (CIES), a division of the Institute of International Education. The CIES
Web site states, "The Fulbright Program is the flagship international educational
exchange program sponsored by the U.S. government and is designed to 'increase mutual
understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries.'
With this goal as a starting point, the Fulbright Program has provided almost 300,000
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."
