Fulbright Scholar Stories
 

Ron Hull, Professor, University of Nebraska-Lincoln
Lecturing and Research: Communications and Journalism, Public Service Broadcasting
Taiwan
September 1999-January 2000

Ron Hull lecturing at PTV, the public television network in Taipei.

Ron Hull, a professor at the University of Nebraska, has been involved with television broadcasting since 1955, when the United States was just launching its seventh educational television station. Since that time, he has been in key programming positions in Nebraska and Washington, D.C., at the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and the Public Broadcasting Service.

Last year, Hull had the opportunity to share the knowledge he has gained from years of experience with students and professionals in Taiwan. Through a Fulbright lecturing and research grant, Hull taught a graduate-level course in International Broadcasting at National Chengchi University and lectured on fund raising, programming, production and management at PTV, the national public television network headquartered in Taipei.

Of his students, Hull remarked, "What a pleasure it is teaching graduate students here at Chengchi. They are polite to a fault, attentive, never absent, they never bolt for the door when the bell rings, and they are full of vigor and good spirits. In my opinion they truly reflect what we've always heard about the Chinese culture...that they revere education and respect their teachers. I learned so much through this experience."
