She has been a Fulbright Scholar and twice a Fulbright Senior Specialist, and readily admits to having \u201cFulbrightis.\u201d Good candidates, Parkyn says, have stellar grades, a keen interest in some other part of the world, involvement with immigrants and\/or refugees at home, and knowledge of another language. \u201cFulbright is a prestigious award,&#8221; says Parkyn. &#8220;But to have this experience early in your life, to give back your first year out of college and become an American ambassador sharing language and culture, it will affect your career choices for the rest of your life\u2014and affect change for good in our world!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Parkyn has been working this academic year with student applicants, but official decisions on who will win student awards will be revealed by the Fulbright Program later this spring. &#8220;I can&#8217;t give anything away about our student applicants, but we do anticipate more 天美传媒ers to travel the world with Fulbright this year,&#8221; she said. &#8220;We have three Fulbright semi-finalists for the 2015\u20132016 year.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The February list of top-producing institutions is categorized by institution type, and 天美传媒 falls into the \u201cmaster\u2019s institution\u201d category, a reflection of standard Carnegie Classifications for higher education institutions. This is the second time 天美传媒 has earned this distinction.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/us.fulbrightonline.org\" target=\"_blank\">The Fulbright Program<\/a>, the U.S. government\u2019s flagship international educational exchange program, is sponsored by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the United States Department of State.
