Campbell University’s School of Education and Human Sciences Associate Professor of Professional Education Dr. Terrie Hampton-Jones has been awarded the prestigious designation of Fulbright Specialist Scholar for the next three years.
As a Fulbright Specialist, Hampton-Jones will travel overseas to share her expertise in instructional technology and lesson planning through digital literacy. She will lecture and host seminars and project-based learning workshops for teachers and education majors.
Annually, the U.S. Department of State and Bureau of Educational and Cultural Exchanges sponsor 400 Fulbright Specialists to participate in project-based exchanges in 160 host countries across the globe. Specialists, who represent a wide range of professional and academic disciplines, are competitively selected to join the Fulbright Specialist Roster based on their knowledge, skill sets and ability to contribute to projects overseas significantly. Those individuals approved to join the Fulbright Specialist Roster are then eligible to be matched with approved projects designed by foreign host institutions. Once abroad, Specialists partner with their host institution to conduct project activities supporting the host institution’s priorities and goals.
“I’m honored to be one of the 400 selected to represent the United States,” said Hampton-Jones in a press release. “We are a prestigious group of academics with specified skills, and it means a lot to me to be an ambassador representing skilled experts and professional educators in the U.S.”
“I have the Akatsi College of Education and Cape Coast University in Ghana as priorities on my list. I’m confident that my skills, innovative strategies of integrating technology, and active learning mastery will be an added value wherever I share my knowledge.”
Dr. Hampton-Jones has served at Campbell since January 2017. She is the director of Teaching Scholars Academy, coordinator for K12 and secondary education, and the instructional technologist for the School of Education and Human Sciences. She conducts training through the IT department, campus professional development, instructional pedagogy and curriculum materials department and co-presents technology workshops for the Jerry M. Wallace School of Osteopathic Medicine.
Dr. Hampton-Jones is Campbell University’s first African-American Fulbright Specialist.
