Two students from the Caribbean and a third from Southeast Asia are pursuing graduate studies at UAlbany’s School of Education, with support from a fellowship fund established in memory of the school’s late dean, Ralph W. Harbison. Barbados native Janice Harewood is a Ph.D. candidate in the counseling psychology program. She plans to teach, conduct research and counsel clients. Doctoral student Ancelle Scheker is studying educational public policy. She will return to her native Dominican Republic to create educational opportunities. Layheng Ting of Cambodia is enrolled in the master’s program in educational administration and policy studies. Her studies in finance and organization of higher education will assist her in creating an improved financial system for the Royal University of Phnom Penh, her employer since 2001.
Fellows are selected based on their leadership, service and commitment to education; scholarship; and promise of future achievement in education.

The Harbison Fellowship now totals $311,000.
