ABINGTON, Pa. — Steve McMillan, associate professor of management at Penn State Abington , describes how a 2014-2015 Fulbright U.S. Scholar award to Malta led him to create a study-abroad experience for Abington business majors. This piece originally appeared on the Fulbright Scholar Blog.
"In 2014-2015, I received a Fulbright U.S. Scholar award to travel to Malta, a three-island archipelago in the south Mediterranean Sea. While in Malta, I taught two classes in human resources management, one on the Malta island and one on the sister island of Gozo.
"In addition, I conducted research with my Maltese host Dr. Frank Bezzina, head of the Department of Management and Dean of the Faculty of Economics, Management, and Accountancy (FEMA) at the University of Malta. Our research efforts produced three papers that were published following my return to the United States. However, more recently, my Fulbright experience has yielded very different results.
