Conclusion

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. There are many other positive outcomes to exchanges, including on-going relationships with host institutions; global networking; everlasting friendships; and the sharing of global knowledge with students and others to mention a few. These exchanges are even more critical amidst a terrorist climate. And students are hungry for information even at an early age. The Fulbright Program provides various international opportunities for many constituents. Since 1946, the experience has been invaluable in getting thousands of students, faculty and professionals from many fields to work with, respect, and appreciate colleagues from around the world. As stated by one Fulbrighter: The best way to appreciate others, their viewpoints, their beliefs, the way they think, and the way they do things, is to interact with them directly on an individual basis – work with them, live with them, teach with them, learn with them, and learn from them.
