Kuropas awarded Fulbright grant

DE KALB, Ill. - Dr. Myron B. Kuropas, adjunct professor at Northern Illinois University, was recently awarded a Fulbright scholarship to teach American history at the National University of Ostroh Academy in Ukraine.

His popular column in The Ukrainian Weekly, "Faces and Places," will resume upon his return.

For the past year Dr. Kuropas was chairman of the Chicago UNA Convention Committee. Many delegates have commented that for them the convention was the best they have ever attended.

Also significant is the fact that Dr. Kuropas' book, "Ukrainian American Citadel: The First Hundred Years of the Ukrainian National Association" has been published in the Ukrainian language by the National University of Ostroh Academy and will be available for purchase this fall.
