One of this year’s Fulbright scholarship recipients to work in Mongolia is Lynne Noble, a professor of early childhood education at Columbia College. She will teach educators and teacher candidates in Mongolia next year from February through June.

“For several years, I have been encouraged to and considered applying for a Fulbright,” Ms. Noble has said. “I have eagerly searched for awards that I felt would match my interests, knowledge and skills and where I might develop a respectful and mutually beneficial relationship with my hosts. This year, I was delighted to find that the first specialization listed by the award in Mongolia was early education. This is my passion, and I am assuming it is a priority in Mongolia.”
