Five University of California, Davis, faculty members and one staff member have been awarded Fulbright Scholar grants for 1993-94 to teach and conduct research in Panama, Europe, Albania and Korea. The Council for International Exchange of Scholars annually awards lecture and research grants to about 1,000 Americans who use them to go abroad. The grants range in duration from a full academic year to a semester or less. The council awarded grants this year to the following UC Davis scholars, some of whom have already completed their travel. • Yvette G. Flores-Ortiz, an assistant professor of Chicano studies, will use the Fulbright to teach family psychology and family therapy at Santa Maria University in Panama City from March 1994 to September 1994. • Dr. John M. Palmer, a professor of urology at the medical school, will use the grant to develop a new technique for early evaluation of kidney obstruction in newborn infants and children at London's Hospitals for Sick Children, one of the world's largest research hospitals. He will be in England six months, beginning in April 1994. • Julius A. Roth, professor of sociology, is completing four months as a lecturer in sociology at the University of Tirana, in Tirana, Albania. • Dr. Marc B. Schenker, a medical school professor and division chief of occupational and environmental medicine and epidemiology, used his grant to lecture on and research agricultural health and respiratory epidemiology at the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease in Paris. • Larry L. Wade, professor of political science, is lecturing and researching at Hanguk University of Foreign Studies in Seoul, Korea, on economic voting in the 1992 Korean Assembly elections. Wade will complete his work in January 1994. • Monica C. Wang, a UC Davis foreign student adviser, lectured as part of the U.S.-German International Education Administrators Program, visiting various institutions in Germany during April 1993. Fulbright recipients are selected on the basis of academic and professional qualifications, as well as their ability and willingness to share ideas and experiences with people in other countries. The Fulbright program began in 1946 under legislation introduced by former Sen. J. William Fulbright to increase understanding between the people of the United States and other nations.
