Fulbright alumni discussion sessions for applicants

Two upcoming Fulbright discussion sessions have been scheduled for applicants to connect with UW students who are either Fulbright alumni (already returned from their time abroad) or recently selected Fulbright scholars (planning to begin their trips abroad this fall). These sessions are opportunities for applicants to ask questions of these students who have been through the application process, learn more about what a Fulbright year might be like, share ideas about potential projects, brainstorm ways to find affiliations, find out how they made use of their faculty and mentors, etc.:

• Tuesday, May 22, 12:30-1:20pm, MGH 171
• Wednesday, May 23, 4:30-5:20pm, MGH 258

RSVP to attend either or both sessions at https://expo.uw.edu/expo/rsvp/event/228.

UW Fulbright Program Advisers will also be on-hand to answer technical questions about this year's application process, but we will not be attempting to cover any of the program basics already discussed during the information sessions. If applicants haven't yet attended an information session, there are two more upcoming:
