The Merrick School of Business has had seven faculty through the years participate in the Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program, the most recent faculty member to join the prestigious program is David Lingelbach, associate professor of entrepreneurship. From November 2018 to March 2019, Lingelbach had been conducting research as well as teaching in Myanmar at the Monywa University of Economics. His Fulbright research focused on the topic of "Making Sense of Entrepreneurship in a Transition Economy."

Throughout his journey abroad, the professor and his wife documented their thoughts and experiences, sharing images of their Myanmar friends and colleagues.  They posted stories about the people they lived among and worked with. They even shared some stories of the political realities in the country which is home to a population of approximately 54.4 million people.

Upon his arrival back in the U.S., Lingelbach shared the news that he was most recently named a Fulbright Specialist. This designation will enable him to remain engaged with his work in Myanmar and extend it to other places in Southeast Asia. We look forward to seeing Lingelbach back on campus in the fall and learn more about his research activities. 

Below are just a few photos that the Lingelbachs shared in their social media postings.
