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.”
“It's a different relationship, it’s a different way of doing research, which I think the Fulbright Program is so critical for: global understanding…. I would have never gotten here without Fulbright.”
“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 work in South Africa is bringing home — quite literally — to my students, colleagues, and projects a sense of connection and immediacy with our local community and local needs."
