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.

Elizabeth Atwell
Elizabeth earned her bachelor’s in theater performance in 2004 and has been the artistic director of Factory Street Studio for the past two years. With her Fulbright, she will study dance styles and technique of the country of Georgia. She also hopes to gain insight into the local culture and the function dance serves in various communities. In addition to pursuing the Fulbright program, Elizabeth graduated magna cum laude and participated in the Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society. She would like to carry her research into a master’s degree program, working with dance, choreography, and anthropology.
“I am so thrilled to be receiving this Fulbright,” Elizabeth said. “It gives me the opportunity to learn and study, again, another country’s dance styles and technique.”
“Over the course of her undergraduate studies, Elizabeth excelled, bringing to the work a maturity well beyond her years, as well as a tireless inquisitiveness, rigor, and openness. She was clearly a leader in a very talented and ambitious class. I am thrilled that she has found the perfect discipline for her many talents and her broad and lively intelligence—dance and anthropology.”
William Fisher, associate professor and head of the Bachelor of Fine Arts Theater Performance Program
