Robert Gassman

Robert Gassman has earned a Fulbright English Teaching Assistant grant to teach students in Taiwan.

The U.S. Student Fulbright Program, a federally sponsored international, educational and cultural exchange, recognizes academic merit and leadership potential. The program promotes mutual understanding between U.S. residents and people in more than 155 countries worldwide. Fulbrights are among the most prestigious awards in higher education.

I am extremely honored and thankful for the opportunity to teach English in Taichung, Taiwan, as a member of the Fulbright program.
