Chiara Logli, assistant professor and institutional assessment specialist at Honolulu Community College, has won a Fulbright U.S. Scholar award in higher education for the 2026–27 academic year.

As part of the award, she will teach courses on research design and conduct a study examining how universities in India balance local traditions with global perspectives in higher education. Hosted by JSS<\/abbr> Academy of Higher Education and Research in Mysuru, India, the project will culminate in a comparative study of higher education systems in India, the U.S. and Indonesia. <\/p>\n

This research stems from her deeper passion for exploring how universities are shaped by the communities and cultures around them. In particular, she is drawn to India\u2019s dynamic higher education system, which reflects both deep traditions and rapid innovation.<\/p>\n

“We are incredibly proud of Dr. Logli,” Chancellor Karen C. Lee said. “It is an immense honor to join the legacy of the Fulbright Program in promoting collaboration across borders. She will be able to share the unique strengths of higher education in Hawaiʻi<\/span> with colleagues abroad and bring back her learnings about India to enrich our campus community.”<\/p>\n

Logli holds an MA<\/abbr> in political science and a PhD<\/abbr> in education with a specialization in international cultural studies. In addition to the Fulbright award, Logli has received recognition and previous awards from the East-West Center, Rotary International, USAID<\/abbr>, United States Foreign Language and Area Studies Fellowships, United States-Indonesia Society and the European Union Leonardo da Vinci Program.<\/p>\n

Established in 1946, the Fulbright Program is one of the world\u2019s most respected international exchange programs, operating in more than 160 countries. Fulbright alumni include 46\u202fheads of state or government,\u202f63\u202fNobel Laureates,\u202f93\u202fPulitzer Prize winners,\u202f83\u202fMacArthur Fellows, and countless leaders across sectors\u202fand industries worldwide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
