Ball State alumnus Dr. Jay S. Bagga MS’88 has been invited to serve on the 2004-5 Fulbright Senior Scholar Peer Review Committee for African Research Scholars. Bagga was awarded a Fulbright grant during 2000-1 to teach and work on research projects at the University of Zimbabwe’s department of computer science. A member of Ball State’s computer science faculty since 1989, Bagga was named chair of the deparment from July 1, 2003. “I am pleased to have this opportunity to continue involvement with the Fulbright program,” said Bagga. In his new adminstrative role on campus, Bagga plans to introduce several new initiatives. “One of my goals as department chair will be to increase our interaction with all our graduates, particularly those who came to Muncie as foreign students.” On August 25, history professor Ken Hall will begin service as a Fulbright scholar at Gadja Mada University in Jogjakarta, Indonesia. Two BSU graduates living in Indonesia have already offered to meet Dr. Hall and assist in organizing alumni gatherings. They are Bagus Hadi ‘87MURP’90MAR’91, and Andy Novianto MA’91.
