Morgan State University’s former Fulbright adviser, the late Dr. Sandye Jean McIntyre II (left), pictured with Senegalese President Léopold Sédar Senghor in 1983, was recognized by the U.S. Department of State as the longest-serving Fulbright adviser at any American college. McIntyre was also an honorary consul of the Republic of Senegal.

The Fulbright program later stopped allowing members of Congress to write recommendations for student applicants.

McIntyre went on to get five Fulbright Scholar awards as a professor of modern languages and to serve on selection panels for France and Belgium. He applied the knowledge he gained over the years to building Morgan’s enviable track record.

“I don’t think anyone has done as intensive a job and set up as intensive a program as Dr. McIntyre did,” Leggett says.
