Piano Professor Named Fulbright Scholar
Clemson University piano professor Linda Li-Bleuel has been named a 2008 Fulbright Scholar. As one of more than 1,000 American scholars and professionals selected by the United States Department of State to take part in the highly prestigious exchange program, Li-Bleuel will teach and perform at the Chinese Cultural University in Taiwan this fall.
“I’m honored by the selection. It allows me to continue my interest in working with Chinese students and faculty,” said Li Bleuel who has taught and performed throughout China, most recently at the Sichuan Conservatory of Music in Chengdu.
Established in 1946 by the United States Congress, the Fulbright program is America’s
largest international exchange program. It offers opportunities for students, scholars, and professionals to undertake international graduate study, advance research, university teaching, and teaching in elementary and secondary schools worldwide.
The Chinese Cultural University is located in Taipei and is one of the largest universities in Taiwan with an enrollment of nearly 32,000 students. Founded in 1962, CCU was originally named Far East University. Today, the university is comprised of 12 academic colleges, including liberal arts, foreign language and literature, social sciences, science, engineering, business administration, journalism and communications, arts, environmental design, law, agriculture, and education.
Li-Bleuel will teach, perform, and present master classes in CCU’s Department of Western Music. “From my past experiences, I’ve learned that Chinese students are dedicated musicians and possess excellent technical skills. During my time in Taiwan, I’ll work with them on creativity and musical interpretation.”
Li-Bleuel’s husband, saxophonist John Bleuel, who teaches at the University of West Georgia, was also awarded a Fulbright to teach in Taiwan this fall. He is slated to teach at the National University of the Arts. The couple plans to present several joint concerts while abroad.
