Dougherty will spend nine months in Spain teaching English and “improving knowledge of the United States” beginning in September 2012. The Fulbright scholarship is the first awarded to a 69ЩЋЧщЪгЦЕ student. Established in 1946 and sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, the Fulbright Program is the largest U.S. international exchange program that offers opportunities to students, scholars, and professionals for graduate study, advanced research, and elementary, secondary, and university teaching across the globe. “We could not be more proud of Nora and her tremendous accomplishment,” said 69ЩЋЧщЪгЦЕ President Peter P. Mercer. “Her hard work, discipline and commitment to lifelong learning will serve her well throughout her career.” Dougherty, of Middletown, NJ, studied abroad in Sevilla, Spain in spring 2010, knew she wanted to return “to the country that changed [her] life.” “The encouragement by Dr. Aaron Lorenz, the Roukema Center, all my professors, the people I work with, as well as my family [and] friends was tremendous,” said Dougherty. “I could never have done it without them. As for what it means to me, I think it just confirmed the choices that I made throughout my four years [at Ramapo].” “One cannot overstate the level of competition that Nora was up against from students across the country,” said Director of the Office of Fellowships and Scholarships and Faculty Program Advisor for the Fulbright Program for U.S. Students Professor Aaron Lorenz. “The Fulbright remains one of the most prestigious fellowships in the world and we are delighted that the committee recognized the work Nora has done to place her in such a competitive position.” Lorenz noted that Dougherty, in addition to teaching English to students, will conduct research that she will ultimately use for graduate school admission, most likely in fall 2013. Professor of International Politics Cliff Peterson, Dougherty’s International Studies academic advisor, said he was impressed by Dougherty when she arrived on campus and delighted she chose International Studies as her major. “Those early impressions have more than been fulfilled,” said the professor. “A Fulbright award is one of the most prestigious and selective awards for a graduate. It brings honor to Nora for her hard work and passion and reflects well on our undergraduate program and the college as a whole.” The Fulbright U.S. Student Program competition for grants for late summer and fall 2013 will be available on May 1, 2012.

This is, in part, due to its unique interdisciplinary academic structure, its size of approximately 6,008 students and its pastoral setting in the foothills of the Ramapo Mountains on the New Jersey/New York border. Established in 1969, 69ЩЋЧщЪгЦЕ offers bachelor's degrees in the arts, business, humanities, social sciences and the sciences, as well as in professional studies, which include nursing and social work. In addition, 69ЩЋЧщЪгЦЕ offers courses leading to teacher certification at the elementary and secondary levels. The College also offers five graduate programs as well as articulated programs with the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, New York Chiropractic College, New York University College of Dentistry, SUNY State College of Optometry and New York College of Podiatric Medicine. dЇћќ()*HI—œЇРЦљ˜šїѓюѓцѓпѓдцЫцѓУИБЇѓБѓБѓhcwаh:uФ6o( hcwаh:uФhЮh:uФOJQJh:uФOJQJh;h:uФ0Jjh:uФU h[вh:uФjh:uФU h:uФ5h:uФhdIЬh:uФ5STcdІЇhiІ Ї ‰ Š  j k 67эюјљstPQ•њњњњњђђњњњњњњњњњњ№№№№№№№№№№№$a$gd:uФgd:uФšў•–—›œ5˜™š§ѕхииУУ§ѕ„P„PЄ№1$7$8$H$]„P^„Pgd:uФ ЄЄXDYDgd:uФ$ЄЄXDYDa$gd:uФ$a$gd:uФ ":p:uФАа/ Ар=!А "А # $ %АЏDаЩъyљКЮŒ‚ЊKЉ рЩъyљКЮŒ‚ЊKЉ >http://us.fulbrightonline.org/Ѕ@@ёџ@ NormalCJ_HaJmH sH tH Z@Z Ћ1 Heading 1$Є№Є<@&5CJ KH OJQJ\^JaJ R@R Ѕo‚ Heading 4$Є№Є<@&5CJPJ\_H aJDA@ђџЁD Default Paragraph FontRi@ѓџГR  Table Normalі4ж l4жaі (k@єџС(No List D™@ђD Пi Balloon TextCJOJQJaJ.X@ђџ. dIЬEmphasis6]€F^@F dIЬ Normal (Web)ЄdЄd[$\$_HHZ@"H CЖ Plain TextCJOJPJQJ_HaJ6U@ђџ16 х[q Hyperlink >*B*phџXB@BX ЕG— Body Text$dha$B*OJPJQJ_HaJph.W@ђџQ.
