CHARLES TOWN, W.Va.,
March 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/
-- American Public University doctoral student Andreea
Mosila has been selected as a Fulbright Scholar, with plans to
conduct research on climate change and its global security
implications at Babeș-Bolyai University in Romania for the 2024-2025 academic year. The
prestigious Fulbright Program is the world's largest and most
acclaimed international academic exchange initiative.
Ms. Mosila, who is pursuing a Doctorate in Global Security at
APU, seeks to research how communities in Romania's Danube Delta are impacted by climate
change from October 2024 until
June 2025 (the delta is a UNESCO
World Heritage Site and Europe's
largest natural wetland).
"As I continue my journey as a lifelong learner, I remain
steadfast in my goal: contributing to elevating global security
through an in-depth understanding of the nexus between climate
change and security concerns," said Mosila. "I approach the future
with heartfelt commitment and enthusiasm, ready to make a
meaningful impact on the world."
The Fulbright program, devoted to increasing mutual
understanding between the people of the
United States and the people of other countries, is noted
for its highly selective, merit-based selection process.
"On behalf of our School of Security and Global Studies and the
entire academic leadership team, I congratulate Ms. Mosila for her
incredible achievement," said Dr. Elizabeth
Johnson, Provost, American Public University System. "This
is a remarkable accomplishment, and I am confident that Andreea
will make a lasting impact with her future research."
Fulbright alumni have achieved distinction in government,
science, arts, business, philanthropy, and education. Among the
ranks of Fulbright alumni are 62 Nobel Prize recipients, 78
MacArthur Foundation Fellows, 89 Pulitzer Prize winners, and 41
current or former heads of state or government.
Mosila, who was born in a small town in central Romania and now lives in Pasadena, California, thanked her APU
professors, mentors, and the Fulbright Committee for their support.
She has a master's degree in political science from American Public
University and has a second master's degree in aeronautics from
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University;
Mosila also earned her bachelor's degree in space studies and
aerospace science from American Public University.
"My history, cultural background, and scientific knowledge have
shaped me into an individual driven by dreams and determined to
realize them," Mosila added. "As I embark on this extraordinary
journey, I am conscious of the responsibility to positively impact
humanity's shared global security."
