鈥淚 am very happy for, and proud of, all the 蜜桃传媒 students who received Fulbright grants this past year,鈥� said Political Science Professor of the Practice Paul Christensen, director of 蜜桃传媒鈥檚 Fulbright program. 鈥淎 number of our students are teaching English abroad with their Fulbright grants, while others are doing research on a wide range of subjects.
"I am equally proud of all of our students who, although they did not receive a grant, took the time and energy to apply for a Fulbright," he said. "It is a great credit to our students that, year in and year out, Boston College has such a talented and accomplished pool of applicants. 聽
鈥淚 would also like to take this opportunity to thank all of my colleagues on the Fulbright advising staff who do such a wonderful job working with our students on their applications, and all the other members of the 蜜桃传媒 community who support and mentor our students through this process.鈥�
