CHANDLER, AZ, UNITED STATES, October 15, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The University of Arizona Global Campus (UAGC) assistant dean in the Forbes School of Business and Technology^®, Katie Thiry, has been awarded a Fulbright Specialist Program grant. This grant will enable Thiry to embark on a significant project at the University of Split in Croatia, fostering international collaboration in the field of Business and Education.

Thiry’s project aims to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and create enduring partnerships that will benefit participants, institutions, and communities both in the United States and Croatia. Her work will include a variety of educational initiatives and training activities, underscoring the importance of global cooperation in higher education.
