Thursday, May 28, 2026
10:30 AM - 10:55 AM EDT
Location: OCCC, W203
The Fulbright Program remains one of the most powerful tools campuses have to advance global learning, institutional reputation, and student and faculty success—yet many institutions underutilize their greatest asset: the Fulbright alumni community. This session brings together perspectives from the Fulbright Association and the Fulbright Program to share practical, campus-ready strategies for promoting Fulbright opportunities more effectively. Participants will learn how to activate alumni as ambassadors. Designed for international educators at institutions of all sizes, this session will move beyond awareness-raising to offer concrete tactics that can be implemented immediately to strengthen Fulbright pipelines and deepen campus engagement.
Learning Objectives:
Identify effective strategies for promoting Fulbright opportunities to students, faculty, and administrators.
Leverage Fulbright alumni as mentors, recruiters, and advocates within institutional programming.
