Barrett Awarded Second Fulbright Fellowship 

Joyce Barrett, a member of the adjunct faculty for the Department of Communication, is now a two-time Fulbright Fellow.

Barrett will travel to Burkina Faso during March 2008, where she will work with advanced students in the Department of Journalism at the University of Ouagadougou. Barrett also will make presentations to several large audiences on government communication in crisis situations, in addition to collaboration with professors in the Department of Communications on the development of new course materials.

Barrett's Fulbright experience also will include senior professional training seminars with the Directors of Communication within the Burkina Faso government.

"We congratulate Joyce Barrett on this great honor," said Brian McGee, chair of the Department of Communication. "Ms. Barrett continues to have a stellar career as a professional and educator, which this prestigious Fulbright award recognizes."

"Her audiences and students in Burkina Faso will benefit from her energy in the classroom and her remarkable expertise in international journalism education," said McGee.

Barrett joined the Department of Communication in 2007. She teaches introductory and advanced courses in media and media writing.

In addition to her previous service as a Fulbright Fellow at the University of Belgrade in 2003, Barrett has been a Knight International Press Fellow on two occasions at the University of Botswana in Gaborone. She has lectured and taught in numerous foreign countries, including Jordan, Thailand, Vietnam, Burma, Swaziland and Algeria.

Barrett also has had a lengthy journalistic career stateside, with positions in Washington D.C., Alexandria, Va., and Myrtle Beach, S.C.
