Randolph Resident Shreya Trivedi Wins Fulbright to Teach in South Korea

VILLANOVA, PA (05/14/2010)(readMedia)-- Villanova student Shreya Trivedi (Randolph, N.J.) is one of three graduating seniors at the university who has been awarded a Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship for the 2010-11 academic year. Trivedi will use the Fulbright to teach in South Korea.

Trivedi is a Villanova University Presidential Scholar and a Villanova University Research Fellow whose work on uterine tissue remodeling has been published and presented at national conferences. She plans to spend her non-teaching hours in South Korea as a volunteer at a medical clinic in preparation for her career in medicine.

"It has been such an honor to work with this outstanding group of Villanova students on their applications for the Fulbright," said Jane Morris, Director of Villanova's Center for Undergraduate Research and Fellowships. "Each of them will be serving international communities as ambassadors of the United States and Villanova. I can't imagine having better representatives than our 2010 Villanova Fulbright Scholars."

The Fulbright U.S. Student Program is the largest U.S. exchange program offering opportunities for students to undertake international graduate study, advanced research and teaching. The program is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State to promote international good will through the exchange of students in the fields of education, culture and science. Fulbright Teachers teach English in schools and universities in their host countries while becoming fully integrated into the fabric of the local community. More than 1,500 students travel abroad each year on Fulbright awards.
