FACULT Y SCHOLARSHIP
ACADEMY FACULTY continue to be regularly involved in scholarship,
professional development and leadership in their respective disciplines. This is
a partial list of accomplishments from the past year.
Fulbright Scholars During the 2017 Spring semester, Capt.
Dan Parrott, Professor of Marine Transportation, was a Fulbright visiting
scholar in residence at the University of Costa Rica's new School of Nautical
Science, teaching and supporting the university's effort to modernize their
nautical science curriculum and become an international y-recognized and
credentialed training organization. Parrott joins the ranks of two other MMA
Fulbright scholars: Elaine Potoker in the field of International Politics and Paul
Wlodkowski in Engineering. The three scholars advanced the role that Maine
Maritime Academy plays as a leader in international maritime education.
