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 important for us to go, if there’s interest in our art form, to share it so they can do it there at their own university. It’s like having a native speaker come teach a language — it brings a different flavor.
“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.”
“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.”
"The Fulbright Specialist Program provided us with the opportunity to work one-on-one and try to kindle cross border cooperation in a more sustained way."
