USCB chancellor Panu earns Fulbright scholarship
USC Beaufort Chancellor Al M. Panu, Ph.D., has been selected to participate in the 2019-2020 Fulbright U.S. International Education Administrators Seminar in France in the fall.

The seminar accomplishes this through briefings, campus visits, meetings with selected government officials, networking, cultural activities, and meetings with French international education professionals over a two-week period. It also includes tours of historical and cultural sites.
A prestigious academic exchange program, the Fulbright international seminar was created to expand and strengthen relationships between the people of the United States and citizens of other nations as a means of promoting international understanding and cooperation.
Panu is the sixth member of the USCB administration or faculty to earn a Fulbright scholarship to conduct research or teach in other countries.
