Indiana University of Pennsylvania’s Robert E Cook Honors College Student Earns Fulbright Scholarship

Indiana, PA (PRWEB) September 7, 2006

Robert E. Cook Honors College at Indiana University of Pennsylvania (http://www.iup.edu/honors/news/news.html) announced that honors student Rebecca Galloway has been awarded a yearlong Fulbright Scholarship to spend a full year studying in the Netherlands. Only 1,200 university students in the nation are chosen for this prestigious scholarship.

The Fulbright award will allow Galloway to enroll in a master's program at the Universiteit Maastricht, a liberal arts college in the Netherlands, for the 2006-07 year.

Galloway is a senior French for international trade major who will graduate from the Robert E Cook Honors College at IUP in May.

She speaks five languages and will draw upon past travel experience to inform her stay in the Netherlands: among other destinations, she says has visited Amsterdam and Roosendaal many times.

In addition, she spent last summer working in Brussels, Belgium, and toured Ireland and France before beginning a summer course in Dutch at the Universiteit Antwerpen in downtown Antwerp, Belgium. She previously earned a diploma in international management from a French business school during a study-abroad experience.                                        

Most recently, she won first prize for a paper she presented at an undergraduate research symposium held at the University of Pittsburgh. Her award was for the "Populations Ebb and Flow" panel of the Europe: East and West symposium, which explored the continent through presentations of multidisciplinary research.

Galloway is the latest in a tradition of Robert E Cook, IUP Fulbright recipients: Lori Felker (2000) Germany, Erica Shafran (2002) Austria, IUP graduate Betty Lanteigne (2003) Qatar, Abby Brewer (2004) Germany, Stephanie West (2004) Belgium, and Katie Kasubick (2005) Korea.

IUP is a member of Pennsylvania's State System of Higher Education.
