(MAHWAH, NJ) – Associate Professor of Political Science Jeremy Teigen was awarded a Fulbright Scholar grant to teach at Tibilisi State University in Georgia for the fall 2011 semester.  Teigen will teach American government classes as well as research methodology on political institutional and electoral forms.

Teigen is a member of approximately 1,100 U.S. faculty and professionals who will travel abroad in the 2011-2012 academic year under the Fulbright Scholar Program.  Fulbright recipients are among the over 40,000 individuals who study, teach and research international concerns in the U.S. Department of State exchange each year.

“Dr. Teigen’s achievements in teaching, scholarship, and community service have been outstanding,” said Dean Hassan Nejad, of the College’s School of American and International Studies. “His expertise on the American electoral process, campaign strategies, party politics, and research methodology have enriched our  curriculum and his scholarly work has been published in several peer reviewed journals, including Political Communication, European Security, Armed Forces & Society, Political Research Quarterly, and Social Science Quarterly.”

Teigen joined Ramapo College of New Jersey in 2005. He resides in Emerson, NJ.

The Fulbright Program was established in 1946 under the late U.S. Senator J. William Fulbright of Arkansas.  The program is the flagship international exchange program sponsored by the U.S. government.  The program is geared toward creating understanding between the people of the United States and residents of other nations.

The Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs has funded and supported programs promoting respect between the U.S. and other countries.

Individuals selected as Fulbright recipients are given grants based on academic and professional achievement as well as leadership potential in their chosen field.  Forty three Fulbright scholars have received the Nobel Prize, and 75 scholars have been awarded the Pulitzer Prize.
