ROCHESTER, NY (04/13/2010)(readMedia)-- Nazareth College is proud to announce that the J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board has selected David Jablonski of Greece, N.Y., to receive a 2009-10 Undergraduate Junior Fulbright award.

Jablonski, a senior with a triple major in German, international studies, and economics, and a minor in history, is traveling to Germany where he will teach English. After his teaching assignment is completed, Jablonski hopes to remain in Germany to pursue an internship in Berlin.

Jablonski joins Heidi Ressler of Baldwinsville, N.Y., as the two Nazareth students earning a Fulbright in 2009-10.
