1 Welcome to the nation’s capital just as we absorb the news of the newly elected leaders of the USA as President and Congress! The timing is extraordinary. We are celebrating an auspicious anniversary: the 70th of the Fulbright Program which began in the ashes of World War II with exchanges to former combatant nations to rebuild the world on the basis of education for peace and understanding. During the conference, we have the chance to learn from our colleagues in the Fulbright Program how we can continue to engage in a world filled with unrelenting crises all these years later—and how to share the story. Senator Fulbright’s words are as relevant today as when he wrote them in 1987: Welcome to the 40th Anniversary Conference of The Fulbright Association “We may be mature, but we are newly young and open to the challenges ahead. Based on the bi-lateral agreements of our government with over 70 nations and Public Affairs offices in another 70 undergirding the many layers of the Fulbright Program, we come from deep and solid support for engaging with the peoples of the globe made smaller by technology but facing similar needs for understanding beyond ideology and for shared research and teaching to solvedeephumanproblems.” Attendees at our conference this year include scholars and researchers presenting current work, recently returned young alumni, lifetime members who have returned every year since the founding of the alumni association, international Commission Heads, Chapter leaders from across the country, planners of new initiatives for international understanding, and officials whose work in public office exemplifies the Fulbright ideal. Members who are creating new pathwaysforpeace,filmmakers,entrepreneurs,artists, and more will fill our days and our minds with ideas, energy and ways we can continue to be responsible internationalists. We look forward to you joining the discussion, sharing your narrative, and networking with colleagues and friends from around the globe. Welcome! Mary Ellen Heian Schmider Executive Director Fulbright Association Letter from the Director

18 COntacts At Fulbright, we are strong believers in the power of communication. In a world where it is becoming easier to communicate, we encourage you to continue conversations started here, back home. Inside your welcome packet, you recieved a sheet of stickers with the contact info you provided us previous to this year's conference. It is our hope that as you make connections this weekend, you will exchange contact stickers and use this space in the program as a collection of eachother's information so as to simplify the process of getting in touch following the conference to continue the conversation.
19 “The simple, basic purpose of the exchange program we initiated over forty years ago is to erode the culturally rooted mistrust that sets nations against one another. Its essential aim is to encourage people in all countries, and especially their political leaders, to stop denying others the right to their own view of reality and to develop a new manner of thinking about how to avoid war rather than to wage it. The exchange program is not a panacea but an avenue of hope-possibly our best hope and conceivably our only hope-for the survival and future progress of humanity.” Senator J. William Fulbright

    1 Welcome to thenation’s capital just as we absorb the news of the newly elected leaders of the USA as President and Congress! The timing is extraordinary. We are celebrating an auspicious anniversary: the 70th of the Fulbright Program which began in the ashes of World War II with exchanges to former combatant nations to rebuild the world on the basis of education for peace and understanding. During the conference, we have the chance to learn from our colleagues in the Fulbright Program how we can continue to engage in a world filled with unrelenting crises all these years later—and how to share the story. Senator Fulbright’s words are as relevant today as when he wrote them in 1987: Welcome to the 40th Anniversary Conference of The Fulbright Association “We may be mature, but we are newly young and open to the challenges ahead. Based on the bi-lateral agreements of our government with over 70 nations and Public Affairs offices in another 70 undergirding the many layers of the Fulbright Program, we come from deep and solid support for engaging with the peoples of the globe made smaller by technology but facing similar needs for understanding beyond ideology and for shared research and teaching to solvedeephumanproblems.” Attendees at our conference this year include scholars and researchers presenting current work, recently returned young alumni, lifetime members who have returned every year since the founding of the alumni association, international Commission Heads, Chapter leaders from across the country, planners of new initiatives for international understanding, and officials whose work in public office exemplifies the Fulbright ideal. Members who are creating new pathwaysforpeace,filmmakers,entrepreneurs,artists, and more will fill our days and our minds with ideas, energy and ways we can continue to be responsible internationalists. We look forward to you joining the discussion, sharing your narrative, and networking with colleagues and friends from around the globe. Welcome!

    19 “The simple, basicpurpose of the exchange program we initiated over forty years ago is to erode the culturally rooted mistrust that sets nations against one another. Its essential aim is to encourage people in all countries, and especially their political leaders, to stop denying others the right to their own view of reality and to develop a new manner of thinking about how to avoid war rather than to wage it. The exchange program is not a panacea but an avenue of hope-possibly our best hope and conceivably our only hope-for the survival and future progress of humanity.” Senator J. William Fulbright
