Carolina Lam, director of global education at the University of Hawaii at Hilo’s Center for Global Education and Exchange, received a prestigious Fulbright International Education Administrators Award to visit South Korea.

The purpose of the program is to provide international education administrators an opportunity to learn about the host country’s educational system and network with Korean and U.S. cohort colleagues. Lam will spend two weeks in June traveling throughout South Korea, meeting with representatives from the country’s universities, along with selected government and private sector agencies.

The IEA award is part of the Fulbright Scholar program that sends approximately 1,100 U.S. faculty and professionals abroad each year.

Fulbright programs are international education exchanges sponsored by the U.S. government and designed to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and other countries.
