In 2021, the Fulbright Specialist Program celebrated the 75th anniversary of the Fulbright Program through a virtual event that highlighted how Fulbrighters are leading the way to build connections in a complex and changing world.
“[The Fulbright Specialist Program] was a fantastic learning opportunity that broadened my perspective of STEM education and helped me step outside my cultural assumptions.”
“[Fulbright] has been an amazing and eye-opening experience to learn firsthand the challenges faced by faculty worldwide and how their cultures both enhance and challenge their academic work.”

“The Fulbright Specialist Program gives one opportunities for building deep, more than single dimension relationships with colleagues across countries... It really does change your career and the viewpoints you can bring to your job at home in the United States.”
“There is no typical day as a Fulbrighter... you need to approach it not just as “What I can do?” but “What can I do with others?” and view your engagement with this guiding philosophy.”
“The more I share my skills and experience around the world, the more I am able to reflect on the diversity of challenges faced, which further strengthens my own research and teaching endeavors.”
“[Fulbright] is not just great for lawyers but also for judges and other members of the legal community…the skills many lawyers have built over their professional careers would be valued in other countries.”
