Monica Ulmanu

Fulbright Student, 2008-2009

Fulbright and UNC have given me the unique opportunity to study in one of the top journalism schools in the world. Taking part in a revolutionary multimedia program has allowed me to not only acquire extremely useful skills and knowledge in class, but also to work on projects such as News 21, a Carnegie-Knight initiative promoting new forms of journalism. As one of the students selected for the News 21 team at UNC, I have contributed to the Powering a Nation project (poweringanation.org), where I worked with a fantastic group of instructors and colleagues, being able to use and develop my journalism and multimedia design abilities. The project has already received widespread acclaim in the journalistic community, and was awarded the second place in the National Press Photographers Association’s multimedia contest in August 2009.

Romanian Alumni Stories

"The idea of experiencing one of the best education systems in the world (if not the best) could be quite overwhelming. But soon I realized that this is going to be a unique opportunity to learn as much as possible, to work like never before in my academic life. And I did just that."

Ciprian Crețu

Fulbright Student Researcher, 2019-2020
