Conclusion

Posted in Multiculturalism and Institutional Responsibility on Jan 10, 2020

As the saying goes, experience is the best teacher. Interacting with people from different countries through exchanges helps one to learn about and appreciate other cultures.

And the Fulbright Program is named after Senator J. William Fulbright who pushed for this endeavor through legislation in Congress.

Not only are exchanges important, “applications and enrollments from international students are steady or rising, despit...
