Fulbright

Tel-Hai College is always delighted to host Fulbright Senior Scholars and Specialists, PhD Research Fellows and English Teaching Assistants. 

The fully funded program pairs highly qualified U.S. academics and professionals with host institutions abroad to share their expertise, strengthen institutional linkages, hone their skills, gain international experience, and learn about other cultures while building capacity at their overseas host institutions.
Specialists, who represent a wide range of professional and academic disciplines, are competitively selected to join the Fulbright Specialist Roster based on their knowledge, skill sets, and ability to make a significant contribution to projects overseas. Those individuals that have been approved to join the Fulbright Specialist Roster are then eligible to be matched with approved projects designed by international host institutions. Once abroad, Specialists partner with their host institution to conduct project activities in support of the host institution’s priorities and goals. 

Over the past years, Tel-Hai College was proud to welcome Fulbright Specialists, among them:

Prof. Michael Kern, Washington State University: 

Dr. Ayala Cohen from Tel-Hai's Department of Social Work, has for a number of years sought to create a Regional Knowledge Centre on collaborative governance within the College, that can address and resolve community challenges and conflicts throughout Northern Israel. During his visit, Professor Michael Kern provided knowledge, inspiration and support towards the establishment of such a center and his specialist knowledge, experience and insights into this endeavor have been invaluable. Professor Kern provided a number of Guest Lectures to our 2nd and 3rd year undergraduate students as well as keynote speeches to members of the local regional council on the field of collaborative governance.

English Teaching Assistants assist English teachers in the classroom for up to 20 hours per week. They may be asked to conduct conversation practice in small groups and/or help students from underprivileged communities with a poor command of the English language. Assignments may vary depending on the college’s needs and ETAs abilities. 

Tel-Hai has welcomed several ETAs along the years:

Research Fellowships for PhD Students are designed to provide research opportunities by utilizing local resources as well as gaining international experience. Grantees plan their own projects, which may include independent library, archival or field research, consultations with local professors or a combination of such activities. Along with opportunities for research and engagement with local resources this Fulbright Program offers invaluable opportunities to meet and work with the local professionals and experts of the host country, sharing daily life as well as professional and creative experiences.
