Grejda Awarded Second Fulbright Teaching Award Dr. Edward S. Grejda, professor of English, has been awarded a Fulbright grant to teach American literature at the University of West Indies in Barbados for the 1987-88 academic year. This is the second Fulbright award for Grejda. In 1980-81, he directed a four person team of scholars in a com­ prehensive American literature program at the University of Beijing in the People's Republic of China. Established in 1946 under Congressional legislation introduced by former Senator J. William Fulbright of Arkansas, the Fulbright Program is designed "to increase mutual understanding between people of the United States and the people of other countries." In its letter to Grejda announcing the award, the United States Information Agency stated, "Your impressive academic accomplishments have made possible your participation in the Fulbright Program. We know that you will exemplify the same standards of excellence when you become a representative ofthe American people in Barbados. In so doing, you help fulfill the principal purpose of the Fulbright Program, to promote better mutual understanding among the people of the world through educational and cultural exchanges." A1957 Clarion graduate, Grejda received the Ph.D. with distinction at the University of Pittsburgh in 1969. He served as English Department chairperson from 1972 to 1979 and in 1984-85 was interim dean of the Collegeof Arts and Sciences. In 1985, he received the Clarion University Alumni Association "Distinguished Faculty" award. He was also the author of "The Common Continent of Man." Grejda and his wife, Gail, a Ph.D. candidate in instructional systems at the University of Penn State, are the parents of two sons, Richard, manager of the First Seneca Bank, Butler, and Steven, a physician in Philadelphia.
