About the Fulbright Award
The Fulbright Program, sponsored by the U.S. Department of State with additional support provided by participating governments and international host institutions, is our country’s largest international exchange program. It offers opportunities for students, scholars, and professionals to undertake advanced research, teaching, and learning opportunities in locations around the world. As established by Congress in 1946, the goal of the program is to “increase mutual understanding between people of the United States and the people of other countries.”
The international scope of these awards make OHIO’s Fulbright scholars our adventurers—and our ambassadors—as they apply the academic skills they’ve honed at Ohio University in continuing their studies around the world.

Angela Shoemaker
A native of Louisville, Kentucky, Angela is a master’s student in visual communication. She will use her Fulbright grant to work on a photographic documentary project in the Netherlands. This documentary, about Muslim youth culture and integrations within Dutch society, will serve as her master’s project. Her long-term goals include working on documentary projects that bring attention to underrepresented issues in the international media with the hope of increasing people’s understanding of global events.
Angela also received a Marvin E. Parsons Scholarship through the School of Visual Communication. Her many activities include membership in the National Press Photographers Associations at Ohio University, participating in the “Soul of Athens” project, and contributing to “Dawn to Dusk.” She has also served as a "Southeast Ohio" magazine photographer, instructor for the graduate student photography review course, teacher’s assistant and VisCom studio manager, equipment team leader and technology team member for the Best of Photojournalism Editing Competition 2008 and technology team leader for Best of Photojournalism Editing Competition 2009.
“Angela came to Ohio University with a diverse background in art and documentary photography. As she studied, it was obvious that she would be ideal for the Fulbright. She is an ideal communicator and she will make the most of this award.”
Terry Eiler, director, School of Visual Communication
