Irene Calboli of Texas A&M University School of Law has been awarded a Fulbright-Hanken Distinguished Chair in Business and Economics for 2021-22 to lecture and research in Helsinki, Finland.
“I am absolutely thrilled by this opportunity and grateful for the support and confidence of the Fulbright Program, the Fulbright Finland Foundation, and the Hanken School of Economics,” said Calboli when asked about the award. “This year marks the 75th anniversary of the Fulbright Program, which makes this award even more special. The Fulbright Program promotes collaboration between U.S. scholars and scholars of other countries to foster international understanding through academic exchanges. The importance of this mission cannot be overstated. I very much look forward to collaborating with colleagues in Finland and across Europe next year, and continuing this collaboration for years to come.”
