Professor Emerita Mary Stewart, who recently retired from the Department of Art, will be going to Canada during the 2019-2020 school year to teach and conduct research as part of opportunities funded by the U.S. Fulbright Scholar Program. Professor Stewart has earned a Fulbright Scholar Flex Award to teach a variety of workshops at the University of New Brunswick. The Flex Award allows scholars to make multiple, short-term trips to an institution over two years.
Stewart plans to make three visits to the University of New Brunswick over the next year-and-a-half to mentor students, collaborate with The Atlantic Centre for Creativity and promote applications of creativity among faculty members, administrators and innovators in the Canadian province.
By focusing on creativity, which is the necessary precursor to, and the heart of, innovation and entrepreneurship, the University of New Brunswick seeks to substantially enhance its leadership and further engage students. Creativity courses are already offered at UNB in engineering, business, arts and education. My visits there will promote an even deeper exploration of this pivotal subject and help harness the power of creativity throughout the region.
The Council for International Exchange of Scholars (CIES) has administered the U.S. Fulbright Scholar Program for nearly 70 years on behalf of the U.S. Department of State. The program awards nearly 470 teaching and research opportunities in more than 125 countries to university scholars and other professionals, including artists, attorneys and scientists.
