Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence to bring entrepreneurial savvy to FSU

In Memoriam: Jason Cope (1972-2010)

The Florida State University is accustomed to having its faculty members selected to teach and conduct research in other countries after they have been awarded intensely competitive Fulbright scholarships. However, the university now will get to see that process play out in reverse as it prepares to host a Fulbright Scholar from abroad.

Florida State and its Jim Moran Institute for Global Entrepreneurship have just been awarded a Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence grant from the U.S. Department of State to host a visiting foreign professor for one semester. With the grant, Jason Cope, the director of teaching and senior lecturer at the University of Strathclyde’s Hunter Centre for Entrepreneurship in Glasgow, Scotland, will join FSU’s College of Business as a Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence for the fall 2010 semester. The Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence Program is part of the nation’s premier international exchange program, which is sponsored by the State Department.
