Fulbright Day Will Highlight Opportunities Offered Through Exchange Program
The Office of Research and the Center for Fellowship and Scholarship Advising will host a Fulbright Day on Wednesday, March 20, from 3-4:30 p.m. in the atrium of the Shaffer Art Building. The University community is invited to attend.
The event will introduce the campus community to the wide range of opportunities funded through Fulbright, a U.S. government international academic exchange program that partners with more than 160 countries. The University’s Academic Strategic Plan includes an emphasis on internationalization that aligns with the opportunities Fulbright offers to students, alumni, faculty and staff.”
At Fulbright Day, attendees can learn about Fulbright opportunities available to faculty, students, alumni and staff and will hear from campus administrators and program alumni about the application process and Fulbright experience. Remarks will be offered by Lois Agnew, associate provost for academic programs.
Syracuse University was recently named as a Fulbright Top-Producing Institution for U.S. students for the second consecutive year. Eleven students from the University were selected for Fulbright research and teaching awards for academic year 2023-24 to the Czech Republic, France, Germany (three awards), Mexico, Oman, Poland, Spain (two awards) and Tajikistan. For the 2024-25 cohort, 31 of the University’s 39 applicants have been named as semifinalists. Awards will be announced this spring.
Other Fulbright opportunities include grants for faculty to research and teach abroad, “Specialist” grants for academics and professionals to engage in short-term exchanges abroad, and the Fulbright Foreign Student Program, which provides grants for graduate students from around the world to study in the United States. The University’s English Language Institute administers an orientation program for students who will go on to study at universities other than Syracuse.
