UO professor receives
Fulbright scholarship
Professor Greg Ringer
will teach eco-tourism
this November in Africa
By Nicole Kristal
Higher Education Reporter
A University professor of
tourism was recently honored
with a 1997-98 Fulbright grant,
which will enable him to return to
Africa and continue his work in
eco-tourism.
Professor Greg Ringer, who
teaches international studies
courses through the University’s
Center for Asian and Pacific Stud
ies, will leave for Uganda in No
vember.
It s quite an
honor to receive
a Fulbright,”
Ringer said. “It’s
a fantastic op
portunity.”
Ringer said he
is pleased to re
ceive the grant
because it al
lows him to en
gage in work
that he believes
to be the most
needed and
meaningful. He
said he also likes
the attention the scholarship
brings to international studies
courses.
Ringer spent time in Uganda in
1996 working to develop eco
tourism programs, which benefit
the natural environment and local
culture.
Ringer said he believes the rele
vance of his eco-tourism work in
Africa helped him to win the
scholarship, which is adminis
tered by the U.S. Information
Agency.
“They’re looking for people
who truly make a difference and
who have enough professional ex
perience to really benefit cross

cultural communication," he said.
For the next seven months,
Ringer will lecture on eco-tourism
and bio-diversity in the forestry
and geography departments at
Makerere University in eastern
Africa.
Bio-diversity is the holistic per
spective of both the physical and
human environment, Ringer said.
He will also work with Uganda
wildlife facilities, promoting na
ture-based tourism in the natural
parks, and will collaborate with
tourism officials in Kenya to de
velop a regional tourism plan.
Ringer will receive a $25,000
stipend, along
with free hous
ing and a
monthly stipend
for miscella
neous expenses
and travel.
“Yeah, it’s
pretty sweet,”
Ringer said.
“There aren’t
many like it.”
He added that
he is one of
1,600 recipients
of the scholar

wide.
Ringer, who has also helped es
tablish eco-tourism programs in
Latin American countries and
Southeast Asia, said he has
helped develop educational cen
ters and cultural interchanges
abroad, which provide an envi
ronment where tourists can inter
act with indigenous people.
“The programs are not so much
for recreation, but for learning,”
Ringer said.
Previously, 136 University pro
fessors have received the award,
and only 19 professors have won
the scholarship since 1992-93.
