Five Earn Fulbrights for Upcoming Year
Five recent Truman graduates have been selected as Fulbright recipients for the 2013-2014 academic year.
All of Truman’s Fulbright recipients will teach English in schools or universities. Students selected and the countries for which they received grants include: Shawn Bodden, Georgia; Clara Dahmer, Andorra; Ashley Kleiner, Taiwan; and Hope Schaeffer, South Korea.
Additionally, Bethany Hoekzema, a recent MAE graduate, was named one of 12 recipients of the Fulbright/HAEF Teaching Fellowship co-sponsored by the Fulbright Program and the Hellenic American Educational Foundation. Hoekzema will teach and work in Greece. Fellows act as young ambassadors and provide a cross-cultural educational experience by infusing their culture, ideas, language and knowledge into the school’s community.
