The awarding of Fulbright scholarships was discussed during the visit by the new United States Ambassador, His Excellency Mr David Huebner, to the National University of Samoa on Friday, 26 February. Mr Huebner said he had learnt that Samoa was not among the countries that was eligible for the American award but that he would now do everything in his power to change that. Individual Fulbright grants are available for scholars from selected countries to conduct research, lecture or pursue combined lecturing and research in the United States. Each year, over 800 faculty and professionals from over 150 countries around the world receive such grants. |

Record snowfalls on the United States northeast coast did not prevent Associate Professor Unasa L.F. Vaa from attending the annual conference of the Association for Social Anthropology in Oceania(ASAO) held in Alexandria, Virginia, from 10 to 14 February. “There were massive cancellations of air flights to the east coast of the United States during that period, but I was lucky in that I was rerouted to San Francisco for a midnight flight to Washington D.C., Dulles international airport. This United Airlines flight was probably the first into DC since the flight cancellations,” Unasa said. Many activiteIs were closed on the east coast during that week, including sessions of Congress, but fortunately the conference went ahead despite the below zero weather caused by blankets of snow and ice, and the reduced number of participants. |
