LOGAN — Two Utah State University professors, who are married, have both been awarded Fulbright scholarships to spend a year teaching in Hungary.
Sherry Marx, an associate professor in the Emma Eccles Jones College of Education and Human Services, and her husband, Zsolt Ugray, an associate professor in the Jon M. Huntsman School of Business, both plan to take their sabbaticals together in Hungary.
Marx will spend the 2011-2012 school year teaching master's and doctoral-level classes in multicultural education issues as well as continuing her research study on racial identity. Ugray, a native of Hungary, will teach at a nearby university.
The Fulbright program is the main international educational exchange sponsored by the U.S. government. Funding comes from Congress and is appropriated to the Department of State and the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. Recipients are selected based on their academic or professional achievement and demonstrated leadership potential in their fields.
Marx and Ugray are two of 1,100 Americans selected to participate in the scholarship program this year.
