Two Northeastern faculty members have been named 2003-2004 Fulbright Scholars: Richard Katula, communications studies professor, and Christina Gilmartin, associate history professor.

Katula will lecture and conduct research on political communication and classical rhetoric at Greece’s University of Athens through June. Gilmartin will spend a year at the People’s (Renmin) University of China, in Beijing, researching the lives of radical women in twentieth-century China.

President Freeland has landed a major endorsement contract—of a sort. Along with a few other university presidents, he’s appearing in an ad campaign for the Chronicle of Higher Education, a weekly newspaper that covers the American university scene.

In his full-page ad, which first appeared in the February 6 Chronicle, Freeland holds a pair of scissors and calls the Chronicle “truly a cut above other publications.” The ad copy goes on to say: “President Freeland is one of many Chronicle subscribers who rip our award-winning coverage to shreds. Each week, he cuts out articles to save or pass on to others.” The ad will run periodically over the next few years.
