The Fulbright-EducationUSA Advising Center and the Information Resource Center (IRC) at the U.S. Embassy in Bucharest have recently begun a new series of digital video conferences targeting young audiences all across Romania. With the kind support of the IRC, presentations about U.S. study opportunities made by the FEAC team and the Fulbright English Teaching Assistant in Bucharest have reached high school students grades 10-12, including participants in the MicroAccess program for English learners.

Thus, over the course of the past three months, Ms. Lindsey Appell, Fulbright ETA, along with FEAC advisers have talked to students in Bacau, Baia Mare, Craiova and Timisoara about the process of applying to U.S. universities, reasons to consider getting an undegraduate or graduate degree in the United States, as well as more specific presentations about a wide range of educational and cultural opportunities at various American institutions of higher education. The topic of the latest presentation, which took place on January 25, was “Beyond Harvard: The American College Experience in the Great Outdoors”, focusing on the wealth of choices, study tracks and outdoor experiences at the University of Montana and the University of Utah, two of the most prestigious universities in the so-called typical American West.
