Dean Chosen As 2011 Fulbright Scholar

Jeffery A. Thomas, dean of academic and student affairs at Homestead Campus, has been selected as a 2011 Fulbright Scholar.

The program is set up by the government to bring together American and foreign scholars.

In April, Thomas will travel to Moscow and Yekaterinburg in Russia to meet with administrators from different colleges and universities in Russia and compare and exchange ideas on education.

Applicants must go through a substantial application process, submit an essay and recommendation letters, as well as go through an American committee and a Russian committee.

“I heard I got the award December of last year and it is an absolute honor to have been chosen,” Thomas said. “I am very excited.”
