Albert James Arnold Jr. Receives Fulbright Specialist Award
The U.S. Department of State and the Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board are pleased to
announce that Albert James Arnold Jr. MA’64, PhD’68 of the University of Virginia has received a Fulbright
Specialist Program award. Dr. Arnold will complete a project at Dhaka University in Bangladesh
that aims to exchange knowledge and establish partnerships benefiting participants, institutions,
and communities both in the U.S. and overseas through a variety of educational and training
activities within education.
Dr. Arnold is one of over 400 U.S. citizens who share expertise with host institutions abroad
through the Fulbright Specialist Program each year. Recipients of Fulbright Specialist awards are
selected on the basis of academic and professional achievement, demonstrated leadership in their
field, and their potential to foster long-term cooperation between institutions in the U.S. and
abroad.
The Fulbright Program is the flagship international educational exchange program sponsored by
the U.S. government and is designed to build lasting connections between the people of the
United States and the people of other countries. The Fulbright Program is funded through an
annual appropriation made by the U.S. Congress to the U.S. Department of State. Participating
governments and host institutions, corporations, and foundations around the world also provide
direct and indirect support to the program, which operates in over 160 countries worldwide.
Since its establishment in 1946, the Fulbright Program has given more than 400,000 students,
scholars, teachers, artists, and scientists the opportunity to study, teach and conduct research,
exchange ideas, and contribute to finding solutions to shared international concerns.
Fulbrighters address critical global issues in all disciplines, while building relationships,
knowledge, and leadership in support of the long-term interests of the United States. Fulbright
alumni have achieved distinction in many fields, including 60 who have been awarded the Nobel
Prize, 88 who have received Pulitzer Prizes, and 39 who have served as a head of state or
government.
