Engineering with Fulbright – Hassaan Idrees – USA 2014-2016

First Thai Children’s Book That Has an African-American Girl as a Main Character – Peeriya Pongsarigun – USA 2018
I had a memorable experience during my FLTA years at the University of Pennsylvania. It was my first time reading to kids, reading “Can You Carry Me?” which I wrote for the Advanced Writing for Children class. The preschoolers couldn’t stop laughing and I was wondering why because it wasn’t funny to me as an […]
Putting on a Musical at an Engineering School – Leanne Block – France 2017
When I began my Fulbright year to France, I hardly knew anyone in Paris and was alone at my host institution, Ecole Polytechnique. My master’s program was largely international and taught in English. I was disappointed to find that there was no contact between my program and the famous “polytechnicien” students – the ones that […]

The Kyber Pass – Malcolm Carroll Doubles – Pakistan 1983
Beginning in my schoolboy days, with the mention of the Kyber Pass, I always envisioned images of menace, mystery, and mayhem. I shall be ever grateful for the Fulbright grant that supported a group of us from South Carolina to spend a summer in Pakistan, including the chance for me to actually enter the Pass. […]
Escaramuza Guinness World Record – Jane Lombardi – Mexico 2012
On one of my first weeks teaching at the Universidad de Guadalajara, México in September 2012, I was walking back home towards La Minerva after hopping off of the bus that took teachers from the city to the agricultural college at the outskirts of the city. La Minerva is a huge roundabout that is a […]
