We took advantage of our presence in Iaşi and Timişoara, October 3 through 6, to deliver presentations in four top Romanian universities – “Gheorghe Asachi” Technical University of Iaşi and “Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iaşi on October 3 and 4, followed by the West University of Timişoara and Politehnica University of Timişoara on October 5 and 6.

This afforded us the opportunity to spread the word about the Fulbright grants for Romanian citizens, including the newly launched hyphenated Fulbight-RAF Scholar Award, as well as independent graduate study opportunities. Several of the attendees voiced their interest in joining the competition for either a Fulbright Student or Senior Award.

For the presentation at the West University of Timişoara (UVT) we were delighted to be joined by Fulbright Ambassador Cristina Chevereşan, Associate Professor within UVT’s English Department, who kindly agreed to speak about her personal experience as a Fulbright Senior grantee at Harvard University, back in 2010.
