MBA Study Opportunities at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business – forthcoming presentation at FEAC-EducationUSA

On December 15, from 5 pm, the Fulbright Educational Advising Center-EducationUSA will have the pleasure of hosting an open-house presentation of the MBA program at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, delivered by Razvan Isac, a first-year student at the University of Chicago Booth's full-time MBA program. Having graduated in 2010 from Dickinson College (PA) with a double-major in International Business & French Culture and Civilization, Razvan spent the next 6 years working in countries/regions such as the UK, Brazil, Canada, West Africa, and Central and Eastern Europe. With what people would generally call a "non-traditional" background, Razvan's jobs descriptions included private aviation sales, and mining/power industry journalism and reporting. In search of a strategic and structured thinking environment, with a strong feedback and mentorship model, Razvan is now currently pursuing a Management Consulting path at Booth. He is an active member of the Booth Management Consulting Group, the Booth European Business Group, and the Booth Boxing Club. For his introductory experience at Booth, Razvan went on one of the program's famous Random-Walks in Morocco.

Fulbright-EducationUSA Advisers Address U.S. Study Opportunities during International Education Week

The Fulbright-EducationUSA advising team began the series of activities celebrating International Study Week by delivering a presentation of study opportunities in the United States to a group of high school teachers from Ploiesti. The presentation was organized and hosted on November 16 by the Information Resource Center within the U.S. Embassy. The team of advisers discussed the pathway to applying to U.S. universities at both the undergraduate and graduate level, alongside Fulbright award opportunities and the Opportunity Funds program. The guests received information materials about U.S. study options and the free advising services offered by the Fulbright Educational Advising Center-EducationUSA in Bucharest, along with a warm invitation to collaborate through local school visits, online advising and in-center presentations during Alternative Education Week.

East Carolina University & “I. L. Caragiale” National College Students Meet Online through Fulbright-EducationUSA

On Thursday, November 3, Romanian and American students met online for a one-hour class hosted by the Office of Global Understanding & Global Academic Initiatives at East Carolina University and the Fulbright-EducationUSA Advising Center (FEAC). The intercultural exchange class was an initiative launched by East Carolina University and involved holding a discussion class in which students had an opportunity to ask questions about each other’s social-cultural practices and worldviews. It came as no surprise that young students from both sides of the Atlantic shared similar interests in global popular culture, but the class also provided an opportunity for students to exchange opinions about career prospects, parental pressures, social expectations and detailed explanations of daily schedules and academic activities. The Romanian students also took the opportunity to ask about application procedures, the availability of scholarships, major and minor fields. The discussion class was preceded by a presentation about the pathway to studying in the United States, delivered by the FEAC team to the 10th and 11th grade students in attendance.

Fulbright News from Galati

At University of Galati, we promoted the first ever lecture hosted in conjunction with the Faculty of Letters and History/Philosophy Faculty. The first seminar in the "Fulbright Lecture Series" was hosted to discuss the U.S. Election and its effect on international affairs.

The series is open to the public to encourage critical thinking and engagement about current affairs. Silviu Lupascu, a Fulbrighter who studied at Yale University in the past, is featured in the photos and we hope to expand it to include more Fulbright guest lecturers in the future. More than 75 people attended the two hour seminar with students from the following faculties: Journalism, History/Philosophy, English, Economics. More than 10 professors from the University of Galati attended as well.
