15 Mar '16

Dear all, We are very fortunate to have the program officer for the Institute of International Education's East Asia region joining us for a presentation on the Fulbright U.S. student program. He will be speaking on Monday, March 21st during free hour in Campbell Dome. In addition to other publicity, I'd very much appreciate it if you would encourage students to attend, and have attached a flier for you to post and distribute as you think appropriate. I will also be hosting another information session on April 6th, and the details of both are listed below. These may be most relevant for current juniors, seniors or graduate students who can apply in the next application cycle, but it's never too early to think about building toward a Fulbright application, so all are welcome. Best, Moira Fulbright Information Sessions Monday, March 21st Free Hour: 12:15-1:30 Campbell Dome Wednesday, April 6th Free Hour: 12:15-1:30 Honors Hall Rm. 17 ~ Moira E.

Successful proposals will highlight how individuals and/or teams journey through trial and error to reach a best practice. Presentations and interactions will emphasize provable outcomes.
