As part of the Fulbright program, she has been invited to work at the Noordeljke Hogeschool Leeuwarden in the Netherlands during the month of April.

In addition, Schrader, the associate chair of the Department of Nursing’s online distance bachelor’s completion program, will make a presentation at the 17th Annual Meeting of the Florence Network International Conference at The Hague University April 21-25. Participants will be coming from 37 partner universities for higher education in 17 European countries.

While the specific focus of her work at Noordeljke Hogeschool Leeuwarden is still being defined, Schrader said her expertise in developing online initiatives likely contributed to her selection by the school.

The Fulbright Specialist Grant Program is designed to provide short-term academic opportunities for U.S. faculty and professionals. There are three program goals:

• Increase the participation of leading U.S. scholars and professionals in Fulbright academic exchanges.
  
• Encourage new activities that go beyond the traditional Fulbright activities of lecturing and research.
  
• Promote increased connections between U.S. and non-U.S. post-secondary academic institutions.
