Apartment found!

My friend Nissim found me an affordable apartment in Beer Sheva near the university and train station.

Slight change of plans

Well, the Fulbright fellowship was not successful, but my sabbatical pay will cover my trip, so it's to Ben Gurion University in Jan 2014 for me!

new plan!

My application for a Fulbright fellowship was submitted this summer, with the plan to spend sabbatical at Ben Gurion University in Beersheva.  I have been warmly welcomed by many levels of the university (up to the president!).  Here's hoping!

Change of plans (again)

My application for a Fulbright fellowship was denied, although with strong recommendations that I reapply in 2012 for a spring 2014 time in Israel.

change of plans

The Fulbright people asked if I would consider a different host institution for my sabbatical, so I have asked the Technion to host me. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Fulbright Application

I just submitted a Fulbright Fellowship application to (a) help fund my sabbatical to Israel, and (b) help me get an extended visa. Of course, being a Fulbright fellow also has a certain caché.

Seminar at the Technion

I just received an invitation to give a seminar on engineering education and the civil engineering capstone course at UMKC at the Technion during my sabbatical visit.
