Murray Jensen, associate professor in the
Department of Postsecondary Teaching and Learning, has been accepted to the candidate roster of the
Fulbright Specialist Program. As a selected member of the Specialist Roster, Jensen is now eligible to be matched with incoming project requests from overseas academic institutions. If a match is found, the Fulbright program provides financial support for international travel and housing. Jensen’s area of specialization is biology education, and more specifically, anatomy and physiology education using inquiry based methods.
The Fulbright Specialist Program (FSP) promotes linkages between U.S. scholars and professionals and their counterparts at host institutions overseas. The focus of the FSP is educational capacity-building and the development of longer-term educational relationships. The program awards grants to qualified U.S. faculty and professionals, in select disciplines, to engage in short-term collaborative two- to six-week projects at eligible institutions worldwide.
