MVSU, Alcorn Fulbright leaders

Mississippi Valley and Alcorn State universities in Mississippi are two of 19 schools to be named a Fulbright Historically Black College and University (HBCU) Institutional Leader for 2022. For the third year in a row, the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) recognizes selected HBCUs' engagement with the Fulbright Program, the U.S. government's flagship international academic exchange program. Alcorn President Felecia M. Nave praised the program for allowing the University an opportunity to use its resources to fuel innovation among students and faculty. The Fulbright Language Teaching Assistant (FLTA) program exposes students and communities to languages/cultural experiences first-hand. At least five MVSU faculty members have been Fulbright Teaching and Research Scholars in various countries. MVSU was selected to host a Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence from India - Dr. Vandana Saxena - to teach and pursue research in the Department of Education during the 2022-23 academic year. She is an Education, Diversity, and Inclusion expert at the University of Delhi.
