Session Description: Fulbright programs carry a certain prestige valued in academic circles. These high-impact overseas study and research opportunities directly related to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Today’s Fulbright awards are more inclusive, engaging, and accessible than ever, offering faculty, administrators, and even students the opportunity to conduct overseas research, collaborate on professional projects, and impact their world through community-engaged learning abroad. This session introduces attendees to many Fulbright awards offered annually. Search the database with us, conduct a country and discipline search, explore the benefits of conducting overseas research, and hear from colleagues about how these programs have shaped scholarship in dynamic ways. This session will provide an overview of Fulbright and Fulbright Hays opportunities open to university faculty, administrators, students, and young professionals. These include summer seminars abroad and semester-longer term research and/or teaching opportunities. We will share tips on conducting program searches, preparing solid applications that meet deadlines, and engage reviewers. Recent Fulbright and Fulbright Hays awardees will share recent experiences, insights, and how these international collaborative opportunities enhanced teaching and learning in meaningful ways.
