  • This #FollowFriday, be sure to check out @fulbrightgermany! Their feed is full of great stories, like this one from @niinaherz: Original caption: Dreaming big and being willing to put in the work makes you achieve amazing things✨✨#firstbook #littlebitproud #justthebeginning⁣ •⁣ ~What it‘s all about~⁣ As so often in my life: when I stopped desperately looking for something special, life gave me the most beautiful moments. Accompanied by 25 other German students, in February 2020 I set off for a journey to the deepest south of the United States of America. I had received a scholarship from the Fulbright Commission for a three-week program at Louisiana State University. Without any expectations in my luggage, I simply wanted to dive into American culture and gain new experiences. That I would learn not only about entrepreneurship and the American way of life (for what the scholarship was meant) but above all about myself, friendship and love, I definitely did not expect...⁣ •⁣ #thankyou @fulbrightgermany and @lsu for that great experience!!!⁣
  • For more than 70 years, we’ve believed that by forging lasting connections with people of different cultures, we can shape a more positive vision for our communities and beyond. On this World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development, we're prouder than ever of our alumni who continue to use the skills learned from their #Fulbright experiences to foster mutual understanding and improve lives around the world, from their neighbors to their colleagues in other countries. #wdcddd

  • Congratulations to #Fulbright Foreign Student Hevar on winning the @amideasthq Fulbright Nature Photo Contest! His photo, captured before the COVID-19 pandemic, was taken at the famous Erbil Citadel in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. Original caption: According to the researchers, Erbil Citadel is considered to be one of the oldest Citadels in Iraq and the world. Many religions, ethnicities, empires and people have inhabited Erbil since the earliest evidence of settlement, dating back to 5000 BC. The Erbil Citadel passed through Sumerian, Assyrian, Sassanid, Mongol, Christian and Ottoman hands. During its long history, the Erbil Citadel has been home to mosques, churches, synagogues, schools and homes. In the most recent census (1995), the Erbil Citadel was home to 1,631 people, inhabiting 247 homes. While the sun was reflecting on the Citadel, I had the opportunity to take these amazing shoots. Photo taken in December 2019.
  • Last fall, #Fulbright U.S. Student Researcher Jessica Phan traveled to Portugal to study the neurobiology of methamphetamine addiction. Her research project was cut short due to the #coronavirus pandemic, and she returned to Los Angels to do her part to combat COVID-19. Today, Jessica works at a lab that conducts and analyzes 10% of the tests for COVID-19 samples in California. "I feel fortunate & proud to be able to play an active role in the worldwide efforts to fight against the novel coronavirus."
