Returning to an older tradition, the Romanian - U.S. Fulbright Commission organized its Winter Holidays Celebration on December 8 & 9. The event included a meeting of all U.S. Fulbright grantees at the Commission headquarters, who spoke about the experience during their first months in Romania, presented and commented on their academic activities as well as on the way they adjusted to the new environment.  They also spoke about their perspectives and plans for the 2nd semester.

The entire group of U.S. Fulbright were invited in the reception organized at Casa Universitarilor, where American Fulbright grantees had a chance to interact with representative of the U.S. Embassy, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Fulbright Board of Directors, as well as Romanian alumni and friends of the program.

On the second day of the event, the group of American Fulbrighters visited the Parliament Building, Cotroceni Museum and had lunch at Caru cu Bere.
