The Fulbright offers U.S. citizens grants to teach, study, research, or do an artistic project outside of the U.S. after graduation. A Fulbright fellowship covers a wide range of territory. Regardless of the particulars, every Fulbright is intended to support cultural exchange and create greater mutual understanding between nations.
Over Spring Term, Professor Brigid Vance’s History 203 class, Joshua Altshuler (Visiting Reference Instruction Librarian) and Claire Cannell (University Archivist and Assistant Professor) researched and put together an exhibit on “What is First-Year Studies” in Seeley G. Mudd Library! You can still see the exhibit for yourself through Friday, June 14.
