Adam Levy Receives Fulbright Award
Adam is among four University of Colorado Boulder faculty and staff who received Fulbright Scholar grants to pursue research, teaching and training abroad during the 2014-15 academic year.
Levy is teaching a number of graduate-level courses at Moldova State University and the State Institute for International Relations in the city of Chisinau. One of the classes takes students into the field to visit border checkpoints and migrant processing and detention centers.
