Far-Flung Fulbrights

Eleven students, eight countries, four continents: A record number of Fulbright fellowships has been awarded to Kenyon students, taking them to varied destinations across the globe in 2006-07. Kenyon's winners, chosen by the Fulbright foundation, will spend a year teaching or pursuing research in Asia, Africa, Europe, and North America.
