Upon our return home, Professor Buske had wonderful news awaiting! The Fulbright Program selected Professor Sheryl Buske as a 2011-2012 Fulbright Scholar.
The U.S. Department of State refers to the Fulbright Program as ”the flagship international educational exchange program sponsored by the U.S. government and is designed to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries.”
This prestigiousaward sends approximately 1,100 American scholars and professionals per year to approximately 125 countries with the “opportunity to study, teach and conduct research, exchange ideas and contribute to finding solutions to shared international concerns.”
During the 2011-2012 academic year Professor Buske will be traveling to Ghana to teach courses in children’s international human rights at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science & Technology, Faculty of Law, and working with local non-governmental organizations on the plight of homeless children, which in Ghana tend to be young girls. The Charlotte School of Law is ecstatic to have a Fulbright Scholar part of the faculty and we all look forward to hearing of her impact on international human rights in Ghana upon her return.
