On April 24th and May 1st, CFSA held virtual information sessions about the Fulbright U.S. Student Program via Zoom. Roughly 120 Syracuse students and alumni attended the two sessions, where Jolynn Parker, CFSA's director, presented a Power Point on the Fulbright U.S. Student Program and SU's internal application process.

Hasmik Djoulakian ‘18, a 2018-2019 Fulbright English Teaching Assistant to Armenia, joined us to share her experience on the 24th, and Anjana Pati ’18, a 2018-2019 Fulbright English Teaching Assistant to South Africa, shared information about her time as a Fulbright recipient with attendees on May 1st. Gwendolyn Burke ’20,  a 2020-2021 Fulbright English Teaching recipient to Vietnam, also shared insights about the application process at the May 1st information session. We are so grateful to our guest speakers and all the students and alumni who attended!
