Two St. Mary’s College of Maryland (SMCM) alumni, Cooper Clendenin ’24 and Eleanor “Ellie” Walter ’24, received Fulbright English Teaching Assistant (ETA) awards in Spain for the 2025-2026 year from the U.S Department of State.
Professor of English Jennifer Cognard-Black, Ph.D., the inaugural director of national fellowships and awards, said this is the second consecutive year St. Mary’s College has had at least one SMCM graduate receive a teaching Fulbright, as Surisitee Mortiram '23 was awarded one to Colombia last year.
