Next year

About one year ago, the 2007-08 U.S. Fulbrighters were notified that they had been selected to go to the Slovak Republic. Among the helpful information we received was a detailed "chain letter" which originated with the 2005 "class" of Fulbrighters, updated by each succeeding class. It was chock full of helpful information about living and working in Slovakia.

This year's "class" is working on an updated letter we will send out to the 2008-09 class as soon as your names are announced. Please don't hesitate to get in touch with any of us now if you have questions. Here's a list of the 2007-08 class: http://www.fulbright.sk/list.htm

The Faculty Center for Professional Development on my home campus is holding a "Lunch and Learn: Fulbright Information Session" on Tuesday, April 22, from 11:30-1:30 at the Anatol Center at CSU Long Beach. I'll be one of several panelists of former CSULB Fulbrighters encouraging more faculty to apply and giving them our perspectives on the experience.
