Fulbright!

I am so excited to be awarded the Fulbright scholarship to lecture and research cybersecurity disclosures in Japan in 2023! Becoming a Fulbright Scholar has always been one of my career goals – at the height of working on my department’s AACSB accreditation in 2021, I also took on a personal project of applying for this prestigious scholarship program offered by the State Department of the United States. I didn’t think that I will be successful in the first attempt – but to my surprise, I was awarded the lecture/research grant to go to Japan in 2023! I am very fortunate to be blessed with many who helped me in this process – from the project statement to invitation letters, I can’t imagine how I can pull it through to meet all the application criteria. As of this writing, I only have weeks before I embark on the journey to visit Meiji Gakuin University in Tokyo, Japan. This is not the first trip to visit this Christian university, though – I had a personal visit and took RMU students to visit the university before – the campus is beautiful and is so conveniently located in the heart of Tokyo. I look forward to visiting and spending a lot more days and nights this time!
