Kelsey Ullom, Associate Director of the Center for Civic Leadership at Rice University, has received a 2026 Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program award for International Education Administrators from the U.S. Department of State and the Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board.
Kelsey will travel to Taiwan to learn about and explore potential partnerships between Rice and higher education institutions in Taiwan. The two-week seminar will include campus visits, briefings, appointments with government officials, cultural activities, and meetings with international education professionals in Taiwan.
The program is designed to expand and strengthen the relationship between the U.S. and Taiwan, to promote international understanding and cooperation, and familiarize U.S. higher education administrators with Taiwan's higher education system, society, and culture.
In Kelsey's role at the CCL, she oversees global initiatives and manages partnerships for the center's international programs, the Loewenstern Fellowship and Moody Global Fellows. Additionally, Kelsey advises Rice students for fellowships and serves as the Fulbright Program Advisor for students applying for the Fulbright U.S. Student Program.
