Bates named a Fulbright Top Producer for 14th straight year

Top Producer of Fulbright U.S. Student awards

For the 14th consecutive year, Bates has been recognized as a Top Producer of Fulbright U.S. Student awards, the U.S. Department of State announced today.

The honor, also reported in The Chronicle of Higher Education today, recognizes the college’s five Fulbrighters who are now in Cyprus, Bulgaria, Norway, Taiwan, and Thailand participating in study and research exchanges or serving as English-teaching assistants in local schools.

For 14 consecutive years — since the 2011-2012 academic year — Bates has been named a Fulbright Student Top Producer, placing it among an elite group of just 11 undergraduate liberal arts colleges with such long-running streaks of Fulbright recognition. Twice in the past seven years, Bates has been the No. 1 producer of Fulbright Student awards.

Since 1946, the Fulbright Program has provided more than 400,000 accomplished students, scholars, teachers, artists, and professionals of all backgrounds with the opportunity to study, teach, and conduct research abroad.

“I know the consequences of what something like this can be and what joking around like this can mean,” Hollander says. “That opened up a pathway for me to be very genuine and upfront with people. You can joke about things happening in the U.S., but this is very real to some people, too, and this is very tangible.”
