U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken congratulated University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span>\u2019s flagship campus on being one of the nation\u2019s top producers of Fulbright scholars in 2021–22<\/a>.

I would like to thank your entire team for their hard work in promoting the Fulbright Program to your students and faculty, and in particular William Chapman<\/strong> and R. Anderson Sutton<\/strong> for their support of the Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program on your campus.”<\/p>\n
