Fulbright Talks: Stories by Fulbrighters

Join the World Affairs Council and the Western Washington Chapter of the Fulbright Association for an evening program featuring short stories and presentations given by members of our local Fulbright community: students and scholars from around the world who are currently in the Greater Puget Sound region, as well as U.S. alumni of the Fulbright Program. Talks will highlight the diversity of projects that “Fulbrighters” engage in, as well as the short- and long-term impacts of the program on individuals and communities around the world. Modeled after TED Talks, these speakers will feature six short stories or presentations given by members of our local Fulbright community from around the world, who will share highlights from their Fulbright project and how the grant has impacted them.
