W&J professor receives Fulbright award
Jason Kilgore, a professor in the department of Biology at Washington & Jefferson College, has received a Fulbright Specialist Program award.
With the award, Kilgore will complete a project at Chungbuk National University in South Korea that aims to exchange knowledge and establish partnerships benefiting participants, institutions, and communities both in the United States and overseas through a variety of educational and training activities within environmental science.
Kilgore, who also serves as coordinator for the environmental science major at W&J, is one of more than 400 U.S. citizens who share expertise with host institutions abroad through the Fulbright Specialist Program each year.
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.
