17 Apr 2012    

Fulbright scholarship winner Mallory Slama will spend summer finishing school at UNL and, after graduation in August, will move to the Czech Republic to teach English for a year. Slama is the fifth UNL student to earn a Fulbright award this spring. Her undergraduate degree will be in secondary math education and mathematics with a minor in Czech. Besides English, she also hopes to get involved with the math department where she is teaching.

From Tabor, S.D., Slama currently student-teaches at North Star High School. In the past, she has worked at the Math Resource Center at UNL. "That was the most worthwhile experience I have had at UNL," she said. "Working there is what got me interested in becoming a teacher." Read more about Slama and this Fulbright in Today@UNL.
