News of Hollowell’s appointment has
already appeared on the SNNU website,
http://news.snnu.edu.cn/bencandy.php?fi
d=1&id=8916. An English version of the
SNNU website is available at http://eng-
lish.snnu.edu.cn/. Upon her arrival in
China, Hollowell will also be blogging for
the Clayton State Office of University
Relations, through a link to her own China
website.
From the SNNU website, it is clear that
the fit between SNNU and Hollowell, one
of the nation’s most respected and well-
known children’s advocates, and one of
Georgia’s foremost teacher educators, is a
good one.
“Shaanxi Normal University (SNNU) is
one of the key institutions of higher learn-
ing directly affiliated to Ministry of
Education and it entered `211 Project
University’ in 2006. It is an important
base of fostering teachers of higher educa-
tion, middle school education and educa-
tional administrative cadres. It is regarded
as `the cradle of teachers’ in Northwest
China.” reads the SNNU homepage.
Hollowell’s Fulbright award comes from
the J. William Fulbright Foreign
Scholarship Board (FSB), the presiden-
tially appointed 12-member board that is
responsible for establishing worldwide
policies for the Fulbright Program and for
selection of Fulbright recipients.
Hollowell’s grant is made possible
through funds that are appropriated annu-
ally by the U.S. Congress and, in many
cases, by contributions from partner coun-
tries and/or the private sector.
“The U.S. Department of State describes
the Fulbright program as, `…the flagship
international educational exchange pro-
gram sponsored by the United States
Government,’” says Clayton State
President Dr. Thomas J. Hynes.
“Professor Hollowell’s award recognizes
her contributions as teacher and scholar,
and brings praise for her and Clayton
State University. We are honored that she
is our colleague.”
A former public school science teacher
and museum director of education, and a
member of the Society for the Study of
Social Problems, Hollowell was awarded
the 2010 Equity & Social Justice
Advocacy Award from the National
Association for Multicultural Education
(NAME), on the nomination by fellow
Clayton State faculty member, Assistant
Professor of Teacher Education Dr. Mari
Roberts.
