Around the Globe

UTA's global impact is felt in many ways. From research influencing the growth of sustainable urban communities to data-driven discovery, faculty members are putting the University on the map. One UTA alumna is doing her job to make sure current students gain the international experience needed to compete in a global economy. Jackie Fouse, a 1982 College of Business grad, created an endowed scholarship that helped 85 UTA students learn in countries around the world this past year. Jackie named The Jack and Doris Fouse Scholarship for Study Abroad to honor her parents.

Vengate worked with Atilla Dogan, an assistant professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, to create the design and presented his research in a paper at an annual American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics conference in Washington, DC.
