An article by Michael Bloom, Fulbright Senior Grantee at the University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Cluj, has been published by GLOBAL Synergies, a magazine focused on global engagement at the University at Albany. Here is an excerpt: “Ancient history juxtaposed to modern development; an outgoing, good-natured, and educated population; and a rich cultural heritage make Romania no less than charming: I adore it! In fact, I am currently in the midst of a Fulbright-supported sabbatical in Cluj-Napoca, conducting research and teaching students in affiliation with Centrul de Mediu şi Sanatate, Universitatea de Medicină şi Farmacie “Iuliu Hațieganu,” and Universitatea Babeș-Bolyai Cluj School of Public Health. In the future, I plan to expand my research and teaching activities in Romania, and I hope to increase the frequency of exchanges between UAlbany and Romanian students and faculty.”
