Dr. Lillie M. Fears,

Force Summer Faculty Fellowship Program (SFFP) at AFRL/HE Brooks
City Base,
 Texas, in the program "Cultural Status of Women in Iraq."
The 10-week program offers hands-on exposure to Air Force research
challenges through research residencies for college and university
faculty in science and engineering at Air Force research facilities.
Participants will perform high-level research and receive nationally
accredited mentoring. SFFP is administered by the American Society
for Engineering Education (ASEE). Almost 300 applications were
received, making this year's selection process extremely difficult,
according to Rick Kempinski, ASEE program manager.
