Fulbright Scholars

Kara Brown, an associate professor in Educational Studies, joins Jeff Persels in advising students on their Fulbright applications this year. Brown, a Fulbright winner herself, took on the challenge of advising students applying for the English Teaching Assistantship Fulbright grants, a time intensive but rewarding process.

“The Fulbright is such an amazing opportunity. If you’re invested at all in helping to expand opportunities abroad for undergraduates and graduates, and that is one of my commitments here at USC, then this is a natural fit,” Brown said.

Brown said she would like to get more former Fulbright faculty members connected with students who are interested in applying for the grant and to become a systematic resource at the university.
