“Many of my students are first-generation Americans - because we are a community college, we are also allowed to accept students who do not have legal status in the United States – and I have a wide range of students from Africa, the Caribbean, South America, Europe. I think it’s helpful to talk about my [Fulbright] experience so they realize that I understand what it’s like to be somewhere and feel different based on your culture or your language.”
A Q&A with Alex del Carmen – Hosted by Police Academy of the Czech Republic
“Fulbright Specialists are a wonderful way to strengthen the friendships between our country and other countries of the world. Being able to share this wealth of knowledge and people and our culture to other parts of the world is invaluable. Just to show people the humanity of the American soul, the intellectual exchange that can take place, and the openness that many Americans have towards other cultures - I think it’s crucial.”
