As part of International Education Week, the Office of Global Affairs invites faculty, staff and administrators to join us on Wednesday, November 20 from noon to 1 PM ET to learn more about the Fulbright Specialist Program, a program of the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. The Fulbright Specialist Program provides U.S. citizens who are established professionals or academics and possess expertise in qualifying disciplines with the opportunity to engage in short-term (2-6 week) project-based exchanges at host institutions around the globe.
During this information session, you will hear from Senior Outreach Officer for the Fulbright Specialist Program, Amirah Nelson, and Dr. Greg Kivenzor, Professor in the Field (Emeritus) at the School of Business and Senior Advisor to the Vice President of Global Affairs, and recent Fulbright Specialist to Lithuania.
You will gain an in-depth look at the program and an overview of topics such as:
- eligibility requirements;
- grant benefits;
- application process; and
- examples of past Fulbright Specialist projects.
In addition, time will be available for an audience Q&A. This event will be recorded, and a recording will be shared with all registrants after the event has concluded. Please register for this online event at https://uconn-cmr.webex.com/weblink/register/rba5d41e8060a6c76b807d807ad31d2cb .
