Nearly 1,000 photos have been found as part of the "A Face for Every Name Project," but images of service men from southeast Wisconsin who lost their lives during the Vietnam War are still needed. According to a release from Wisconsin Public Radio, the following men from Milwaukee still need a photo for the wall: ■ Frank Gomez, born Feb. 8, 1930; died Aug. 23, 1968 ■ John E. Milanowski, born May 5, 1947; died Feb. 19, 1968. The photos will be part of a "Wall of Faces" in a new Education Center in Washington D.C. being developed by the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund, the organization behind the wall. WPR has set up a website with more information about the project, the partners involved, tips for finding photos and links to upload photos. To get started, go to: www.wpr.org/veterans.

Nowak, who received a Bachelor of Arts in interdisciplinary international affairs this May, was awarded a Fulbright English teaching assistantship to supple- ment local English language instruction and to provide a native speaker presence in classrooms. According to a Marquette release, Nowak will work and live in Brazil, direct- ly interacting with students in the class- room. She will represent the U.S. as a cul- tural ambassador while overseas, helping to enhance mutual understanding between Americans and Brazilians, it added. "We live in an increasingly complex global community, and there is no better way for our students to learn than to immerse themselves in unique environ- ments throughout the world," said Richard Holz, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. "We are proud that Somer will represent both Marquette University and the United States in what is widely recognized as the flagship international educational exchange program." The Fulbright U.S. Student Program is the largest U.S. exchange program offer- ing opportunities for students and young professionals to undertake international graduate study, advanced research, uni- versity teaching, and primary and sec- ondary school teaching worldwide. In addition to Nowak's Fulbright Award, five additional students received international scholarships from various programs to study abroad. They include Oak Creek native Victoria Zidek, a senior in the College of Arts and Sciences. She was awarded the Alliance for Global Education scholarship and will study in India this fall.
