While attending the fall edition of the Romanian International University Fair/RIUF 2015 in Iaşi and Timişoara, the Fulbright Educational Advising Center/FEAC-EducationUSA team took the opportunity to deliver a series of presentations at the American Corners in the respective cities, as well as within the “Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iaşi and the West University of Timişoara.

We were happy to meet with high schoolers at the American Corners within the “Gheorghe Asachi” County Library in Iaşi and, respectively, the Timiş County Library, and tell them more about study opportunities in the US, while encouraging them to take part in the webinars and online workshops we organize on a regular basis to assist them in preparing a strong application.

The two presentations delivered in the universities focused on the two major pathways to U.S. study opportunities: Fulbright grants and independent graduate applications (for degree-seeking applicants). In each of these two major universities, we engaged in a conversation with an audience made up of senior researchers and graduate students, but had an opportunity to connect with undergraduate students as well.
