International Fulbrigt Scholars visit Loyola

For three weeks during the summer, Loyola hosted 30 international Fulbright scholars. While at Loyola, the scholars learned language and communication skills, as required for graduate school, and became familiar with American culture through lectures, readings, classes, tours, clubs, and restaurants.

Other speakers included history professors Mark Fernandez and Nancy Anderson, professor and political science chair Philip Dynia, communications professor Larry Lorenz, and associate professor and sociology chair Anthony Ladd. According to Debbie Danna, director of international student affairs and co-coordinator of the Fulbright program, last year's scholars were quite impressed with the university and gave the program high marks. Ruth Harman, associate director of Loyola's Intensive English Program, is also co-coordinator of the Fulbright program. The Fulbright Scholarship is among one of the most prestigious academic awards in the United States. With a little help from mom, students moved into housing facilities and began preparing for an exciting new year. Undergraduate and graduate classes began August 30 and law classes started August 23.
