Fulbright awarded to Librarian

A San Jose State University faculty member has been selected to travel to Uruguay this year in order to engage in a U.S. sponsored educational and cultural exchange program with the South American country.

Mengxiong Liu, an engineering librarian and professor of library and information science at SJSU, will be among hundreds of U.S. faculty and professionals traveling abroad this year under the Fulbright Senior Specialist Program, according to a Fulbright press release.

“I’m very excited about this opportunity,” Liu said. “I will communicate with the counterparts in Uruguay and share the information and help them to improve their programs. Meanwhile I will learn from them.”
