10. The Fulbright program allowed me to jump straight to the most cutting edge institution in my field, an
international collaboration that hopes to revolutionize the world by developing fusion energy. It has been
an absolute pleasure learning every day here how the French live, speak, and see the world, and at the
very least, I hope to keep in touch with those I have met here throughout my career. But more than that, I
hope to be back.
-- Robert Rozansky, Fulbright Advanced Student in Physics, 2015-2016
11. Discovering paintings that have been long hidden in museum storage, conducting research
in private collections in Paris and Monaco, meeting an art critic in her 90s who personally
knew the artists I'm researching – these are just a few of the incredible opportunities the
Fulbright afforded me. At the same time, I made invaluable connections with professors,
curators, and scholars in France. The experience has not only shaped and enriched my
dissertation; it has helped to prepare me for an international career as an art historian.
-- Lauren Jimerson, Fulbright Advanced Student in Art History, 2015-2016
