UO graduates earn Fulbright
■ beven students were given
the opportunity to conduct
research around the globe in
the Fulbright Fellows program
By Katie Ellis
Oregon Daily Emerald
Seven University students and
recent graduates were named Ful
bright Fellows for 2001-02, and are
currently conducting research and
working in fields ranging from
chemistry to comparative literature
in Latvia, Germany, Taiwan,
France, New Zealand, Nicaragua
and China.
University students Zintars B.
Beldavs, Jennifer S. Cameron, An
thony E. Clark, Elizabeth B. Cogan,
Brandy Nalani McDougall, Joshua
D. Morse and Matthew V. Wells
were selected through a three
round process conducted by Ful
bright panels at the University, in
New York and in each of their re
spective countries.
Tom Mills, University Fulbright
Program adviser and director of the
Office of International Programs,
said less than 30 universities in the
country have students selected as
Fulbright scholars in any given
year. With seven students selected
this past year, the University sur
passed many larger public and pri
vate schools.
“These students are marvelous,”
Mills said. “To be in the top 30 uni
versities with seven awards is an
indication of not only the success
of these seven students but the suc
cess of this University.”
Congress established the Ful
bright program in 1946 with the
goal of increasing communication
between nations through educa
tional and cultural exchange. Stu
dents are selected for their academ
ic and professional qualifications as
well as their ability to share ideas
and experiences with diverse cul
tures. Each Fulbright Fellow will
spend 9 to 12 months in one of
more than 100 countries around the
world studying and conducting re
search.
Since 1970, the University has
had 152 Fulbright Fellows. Roger
Adkins, graduate teaching fellow
for the Office of International Pro
grams, said that while the Universi
ty has had at least one or two stu
dents selected for the program
every year, seven students is an ex
ceptional number for the presti
gious scholarship program.
“The University will receive
recognition as an excellent inter
national learning environment,”
he said.
Jennifer Cameron, who received
a bachelor of arts degree in compar
ative literature and a certificate in
European studies from the Univer
sity in Spring 2001, is currently
studying at the University of Pots
dam in Germany, researching Euro
pean and Jewish Literature.
Ken Calhoon, director of the
comparative literature program,
called Cameron an “absolutely ex
ceptional student. ”
“She is assured of a successful
scholarly career,” he said.
Elizabeth Cogan, who graduated
from both the chemistry and
French honors program, is attend
ing the University de Paris VI con
ducting research on DNA. While
at the University, Elizabeth spent
more than two years working un
der chemistry Professor Hayes O.
Griffith participating in his re
search project.
“Elizabeth took on a challeng
ing project at a higher level than is
expected of undergraduates,”
Hayes said.

ployee or someone else,” she said.
“But the students there felt it was
unwarranted.”
LGBTQA co-Director Colin
Hedrick said he’s faced discrimina
tion in the past, but this is the first
time the freshman has been part of a
support group like LGBTQA.
“I feel it is my duty as a gay per
son to be supportive when my
friends are feeling harassed,” he
said. “I have a right to skate here and
be at home.”
LGBTQA member and business
administration student James Tilford
wouldn’t put on the skates for fear of
falling, but that didn’t keep him from
showing up to support the group.
He said people need to learn “to
tolerate each other and respect each
other’s beliefs.”
Other members grabbed onto each
other’s hands and slipped back into
childhood. After two hours of skating,
Martin said the event was a success.
She plans to write a thank you let
ter to the management.
“When we left, the manager said
he appreciated us being there,” she
said. “We had a really good time.”
