Kamal Fatehi‚ Chair and Professor‚ Managment & Entrepreneurship at Kennesaw State
University‚ has received a Fulbright Senior Specialists grant in Business Administration
at International Academy of Business.
The Fulbright Senior Specialists Program offers two− to six−week grants to leading
U.S. academics and professionals to support curricular and faculty development and
institutional planning at academic institutions in 140 countries around the world.
Created to complement the traditional Fulbright Scholar Program which was started
in 1946‚ the Senior Specialists Program aims at increasing the number of faculty and
professionals who have the opportunity to go abroad on a Fulbright.
The Fulbright Scholar Program is sponsored by the United States Department of State’s
Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and managed by the Council for International
Exchange of Scholars. The program’s purpose is to increase mutual understanding between
the people of the United States and the people of other countries.
“The traditional Fulbright Scholar Program offers grants ranging from two months to
an academic year‚ and some academics and professionals find it difficult to be away
overseas for that length of time‚” states Patti McGill Peterson‚ executive director
of the Council for International Exchange of Scholars‚ the organization that manages
the Fulbright Scholar Program. “The new Senior Specialists Program offers them another
option.”
Grantees also undertake new activities‚ ranging from conducting teacher training and
developing and assessing curricula or educational materials to leading seminars or
workshops or conducting needs assessments.
