Greetings from Midwest from Sintia Radu

"I came to the University of Missouri, Columbia, three months ago, to study an interesting mixture of documentary film and international reporting. It’s funny, it seems I’ve been here forever, most likely because the program is way more demanding than I could have ever imagined (and there was a time in my life when I had two full-time jobs and, strangely, more time to sleep).

I was told right from the beginning I am at the best journalism school in the world, and boy, were they right. Mizzou is truly an outstanding place to delve in pretty much every area in the media. I am very lucky to be part of the first generation of students who undergo the Documentary sequence here that mixes advanced storytelling skills with sophisticated video techniques. A dream for any journalist who wants to cross from news to long-form multimedia.

A Charming Fulbright Story

From Janice Irvine, Professor of Sociology at the University of Massachusetts and currently a U.S. Fulbright Scholar affiliated with Babeș-Bolyai University of Cluj

“In addition to my research and teaching, I recently had an extraordinary Fulbright experience I wanted to share. My mother was born in Tătărești, a tiny, remote village near Satu Mare, and my sister was here last week for a short trip we had planned to Maramureș. We managed to find Tătărești on the drive up, and stopped for what we thought would be a brief visit. We were standing outside the church and the priest came out of his house to talk with us. Before I knew it, he was on the phone with someone and then said to us, ‘Your relatives will be here in five minutes.’ Soon we were surrounded by several cousins, all of us hugging and weeping. We visited with them and some other newly-discovered relatives in Satu Mare all afternoon, with the priest translating for us. My sister and I had no idea we had relatives in România, and we are still in shock. It has been a life-altering experience to find this out.

Following a warm introduction by U.S. Cultural Attaché Marjorie Stern, Matt proceeded to acquaint participants in the event - mainly 10th and 11th grade students from “I.L. Caragiale” National College and “George Cosbuc” National Bilingual College – with the slam poetry phenomenon, which he exemplified by performing the title poem from his latest collection, “The Baby That Ate Cincinnati”.
