Fulbright Webinar alumni rountable
On Monday June 15, I participated as a panelist in a webinar for potential Fulbright applicants. This particular webinar was for applicants to South and Central Asia, and I was joined by another Fulbright alumnus, Scott Sorrell who did his Fulbright in Nepal last year, and a another Fulbright student who had just received a Fulbright to go to India next year. The format was a roundtable discussion of our experiences applying and researching abroad.
I was invited to participate by the Institute of International Education who manages the Fulbright for students. The webinar was watched by over sixty potential Fulbright applicants. In the webinar, just over an hour long, each us alumni gave a ten minute talk on our time in our respective countries and what our experiences were with the application process. As we talked, a slideshow of photographs from our time in our respective countries ran for the viewers to see. After, a question and answer period moderated by Tony Claudino of IIE was ran. The viewers messaged in their questions to Mr. Claudino, who then read them aloud for the alumni panelists to respond to.
The next webinar of this type, which I might be a panelist for, is Monday August 3.
