Glaciers are our most visible evidence of climatic changes, and they often remind me of our collective vulnerability on this blue blue planet.” Jackson’s doctoral research at the University of Oregon centers on understanding how glaciers matter to people on the south coast of Iceland, and what it is that humanity stands to lose as the planet’s glaciers disappear. “It is critical that we understand how today’s rapidly changing glaciated environments impact surrounding communities, which requires extensive, long-term fieldwork in remote places. I am grateful that Fulbright has continually supported me in this work, from my first Fulbright grant in Turkey, where I taught at Ondokuz Mayis University and researched glaciers and people in the Kaçkar Mountains, to my current research in Iceland. Without Fulbright, I would not be able to do Photo by Eli Weiss this research.” (Photo by Eric Kruszewski) 16-22186 FFSB-report-2015_PRINTcover.indd 3 09/09/2016 7:45 AM (From left) U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Educational and Cultural Affairs Evan Ryan, National Science Foundation Arctic Science Section Head Eric Saltzman, Iceland Fulbright Commission Executive Director Belin- da Theriault, and Iceland‘s Ambassa- dor to the United States Geir Haarde at the signing of the Fulbright-Nation- al Science Foundation agreement on January 21, 2015, for a groundbreak- ing partnership to fund grants for U.S.

  • Fulbright College Advisory Council and the Campaign Committee, and We Hired 23 New Tenured and Tenure-Track Faculty Members
    Fulbright J. WILLIAM FULBRIGHT REVIEW Summer 2014 College of Arts & Sciences Message from the Dean's Office Welcome to the Summer 2014 issue of the Fulbright Review. People often ask professors if we enjoy the summer—when we must have time to relax. While the type of work changes, the summers are often more busy than the semesters. Since our Spring issue of the Fulbright Review was released in April, more than 250 students and 20 faculty members have traveled to 28 countries for study abroad opportunities. Here on campus, we hosted the Fulbright College Advisory Council and the Campaign Committee, and we hired 23 new tenured and tenure-track faculty members. We celebrated the television premier of the Center for Advanced Spatial Technologies, graduated more than 1,000 students and guided 1,470 new students through orientation. We’re also planning for fall events, including our first visit from the Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board and the first in a series of grant writing workshops. You can read about some of these milestones in this issue, and I hope you will. We enjoy learning about the wonderful things happening with our students, alumni, donors, friends, faculty and staff—our Fulbright Family. And I hope you enjoy them as much as we do. We know that there are many stories we never get to hear. If you’re willing to send us updates about your experiences and accomplishments, then we would love to hear from you. I hope you’ll share them with us on our submit a story page or by email at [email protected].
