J arvis Christian University (JCU) has been named one of 19 Fulbright Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) Institutional Leaders for 2022 for its support for Fulbright exchange participants and its promotion of Fulbright program opportunities. The U.S. Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) has recognized selected HBCUs over the past three years for their strong engagement with the Fulbright Program, the U.S. government's flagship international academic exchange program. Assistant Secretary of State for Educational and Cultural Affairs Lee Satterfield commended the HBCUs receiving the designation this year, noting that “HBCUs are an important part of the American and global higher education communities, providing life-changing exchange opportunities for American and international students, faculty, and administrators alike.” “The Fulbright Scholars Program enables us to give our students international exposure,” said JCU President Dr. Lester C. Newman. “Through this program, we are able to provide them with a cultural experience and academic enrichment from abroad. Last year, we welcomed Fulbright Scholars to Jarvis from Tanzania, Tunisia, and Taiwan, and this year we have two Fulbright Scholars from Morocco and Kenya. Our Jarvis students are able to think more globally having met these scholars and many have ideas of traveling someday after their interactions with these Fulbright scholars.” TEXAS HBCU NAMED FULBRIGHT HBCU INSTITUTIONAL LEADER
