Dr. Mary Hollowell
Awarded Fulbright Scholarship
Clayton State University Associate Professor of Education Dr. Mary Hollowell will be returning to the People’s Republic of China... as the recipient of a Fulbright Scholarship.
Hollowell’s grant, a Fulbright Teaching Schol- arship, is for the spring and summer of 2013. She
will be teaching
American Edu-
cational Policy and
American Children’s Literature in
English to Chinese college students at
a location still to be determined. Clayton State faculty members have previously earned a half dozen short-term Fulbright- Hays Grants, but this is the University’s first Fulbright Teaching Scholarship.

Hollowell will be daughters Kate and Sophie Mei. Husband Scott Hollowell, who
has business commitments in the spring, will join the rest of the family later.
Clayton State Mourns the Passing of
Professor Emerita Dr. Martha Wood
Clayton State University is mourning the passing of one of its original faculty mem- bers. Dr. Martha Wood, professor
emerita of mathematics at Clayton
State, and a member of the faculty
Hollowell
at Clayton Junior College when the University first opened its doors in 1969, passed away in April after a long battle with cancer.
Along with her husband, James M. “Jim” Wood, Jr., Martha Wood was a pillar of the Clayton State and Clayton County commu- nity for the past 43 years – the length of the Wood’s residence in Forest Park.
Jim and Martha Wood
In addition to Martha’s long
years of service on the Clayton State faculty, Jim Wood is the sole remaining founding member of the Clayton State University Foundation Board. In 2010, the Wood’s sons set up special funds in the Clayton State University Foundation honoring both parents individually, monies which are designated to benefit and promote faculty and staff improvement at the University.
Dr. Hollowell is the first among the Clayton State faculty to receive a Fulbright Teaching Scholarship. She will teach abroad in China in spring and summer 2013. China holds a special place in Hollowell’s heart - the Hollowell family previously journeyed to China to adopt daughter Sophie Mei.
