Fulbright-EducationUSA Connects with American Corner Audiences via DVCs

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.

Global Synergies

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.”
