(BULLET)Two Salisbury University alumnae will spend part of the next year teaching English and experiencing cultures abroad as recipients of the 2023-24 U.S. Fulbright Student Award.
Samantha Bartell ’22, from Montgomery Village, will fulfill her English Teaching Assistantship award in Moldova. Hira Shahbaz ’20, from Salisbury, will undertake hers in Kazakhstan.
Two other SU semifinalists, Shayna Grossberg ’20, from Gaithersburg, and Allison Latham, a current international studies major from Lusby, were selected as alternates for the program.
“To be selected as a Fulbright Student is one of the most prestigious honors a student or recent graduate can achieve,” said SU President Carolyn Ringer Lepre. “Both Samantha and Hira were very accomplished students at SU, and both know the benefits of studying abroad.
“To be able to advance the education of others while experiencing cultures in other countries is a wonderful opportunity. We are proud of their achievements and look forward to what lies ahead for them.”
Bartell sees the award as an opportunity to help others, as she did as a member of SU’s Best Buddies and Girls on Top of the World service organizations.
“I believe in the importance of advocating for groups who are systematically and historically disadvantaged in education systems globally,” she said. “This means using my privilege of a quality education to ensure that future generations have equal opportunities and are empowered to pursue their own education.”
