Burger heads to Malaysia as Fulbright Specialist | Forums slated for College of Technology, Architecture and Applied Engineering dean candidates

'DIPLOMACY AT ITS BEST'
BURGER TO TEACH, PERFORM AS FULBRIGHT SPECIALIST IN MALAYSIA

Dr. Cole Burger has gone to Southeast Asia for a few weeks each of the last two years, even traveling to Thailand unknowingly in the midst of a coup—albeit a "very peaceful" one—in 2014.

But the trip he will take this May, back to Malaysia for a third time, will be a little different.

The instructor of piano in the College of Musical Arts will teach piano and present recitals and master classes at the University of Malaya in Kuala Lumpur as a Fulbright Specialist. Part of the U.S. State Department's prestigious Fulbright Scholar Program, the specialist program promotes short-term collaborative projects linking American scholars with counterparts at host institutions in more than 140 countries.
