She will head the Fulbright program in India, which celebrates 50 years of academic exchanges between the world's oldest and largest democracies. Prof. Schukoske, who was a Fulbright senior scholar in Sri Lanka in 1995-96, has visited India and written about both the potential and the challenge of academic exchanges involving U.S. and Indian clinical law professors.
Mutual understanding is the goal.
To achieve it, the Fulbright program in India embraces a broad range of fields. To head the Fulbright program in New Delhi, Ms. Schukoske will be on leave for two years from the University of Baltimore School of Law, where she directs the Community Development Clinic. The Fulbright program is an international educational exchange program established by the U.S. Congress in 1946 under legislation introduced by the late Senator J. William Fulbright of Arkansas. Designed to increase mutual understanding between Americans and citizens of other countries, the program is administered by the U.S. Department of State in cooperation with over 130 countries around the world. The Fulbright program emphasizes academic and professional excellence with awards based on open competition.
