		<description><![CDATA[Dr. Susan M. Dray, President of Dray &#38; Associates, Inc., has been awarded a Fulbright  Scholar grant to teach and do research at the Technological University of Panama during  the 2013-2014 academic year, the United States Department of State and the J. William  Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board announced recently. Dray will lecture, do research and build bridges between academia, industry and  government in Panama, as well as  throughout the Latin and South American human-­centered design  community. Dray is a consultant specialized in doing field research for her clients. She played a huge  early role in the development of the discipline of human-­‐ entered design, particularly  adapting field research methods for use in product development, from shaping  fundamental product concepts and strategies to interaction design. She has taught  thousands of people about field research, has worked in 25 countries and has a long list of  publications, honors and awards. She is one of approximately 1,100 U.S. faculty and professionals who will travel abroad  through the Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program in 2013-­2014. The Fulbright Program is the flagship international educational exchange program  sponsored by the U.S. government and is designed to increase mutual understanding  between the people of the United States and the people of other countries. The primary  source of funding for the Fulbright Program is an annual appropriation made by the U.S.  Congress to the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.  Participating governments and host institutions, corporations and foundations in foreign  countries and in the United States also provide direct and indirect support. Recipients of  Fulbright grants are selected on the basis of academic or professional achievement, as  well as demonstrated leadership potential in their fields. The Program operates in over 155  countries worldwide. Since its establishment in 1946 under legislation introduced by the late U.S. Senator J.  William Fulbright of Arkansas, the Fulbright Program has given approximately 310,000  students, scholars, teachers, artists, and scientists the opportunity to study, teach and  conduct research, exchange ideas and contribute to finding solutions to shared  international concerns. Fulbright alumni have achieved distinction in government, science, the arts, business,  philanthropy, education, and athletics. Forty-­‐four Fulbright alumni from 12 countries have &#8230; <a href="http://www.usabilityprofessionals.org/uxpa/2013/05/17/dr-susan-m-dray-receives-fulbright-award-to-panama/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
