Romanian Alumni Stories
"The Fulbright RAF experience at the Ain Center for Entrepreneurship, University of Rochester gave me an excellent opportunity to shift my perspective and find new ways of teaching. Basically my degree of understanding of the development and potential of the entrepreneurial ecosystem has been greatly upgraded to a bigger overall picture."
"To sum up, as a Fulbright-RAF visiting scholar I have been given the possibility to learn and develop myself not only in the entrepreneurial field, but also in my specialization field – computer engineering."
"The Fulbright grant helped me to establish precious connections and get in touch with U.S. scholars that will further enhance the Romanian-U.S. academic collaboration."
"I left for the US with two suitcases of material things and their cost was determined by the weight, but the baggage of knowledge I took back home from this experience is priceless and unmeasurable."
"During my stay in Athens I worked closely with various entities at UGA towards strengthening the partnership that was already in place between UGA and Babes Bolyai University. As a result, a joint certification (UGA-BBU) of master programs offered at BBU in English in the areas of public administration was established."
"My Fulbright scholarship represented a unique experience in life, namely 5 months of exploring the American culture while networking and doing research focused on environmental impact assessment in a prestigious university, as is the case of Ohio State University."
"I know that being an educator has never been easy, all the more now, during the peculiar times we all live. Yet, I have always believed in the power of the word connection, and by it, I mean cascading knowledge, learning from each other, sharing, and coming up with the best solutions. I firmly believe that the future of this world is in the hands of educators, no matter where they live and work."
"Looking back, I think I can say without any doubt that this scholarship has offered me one of the most incredibly beautiful and interesting academic and cultural experiences."
"The immersion in the everyday life of a US higher education institution as a Fulbright scholar is an experience that deserves any effort. Fulbright Fellows are considered highly professional visitors and supported to finalize their academic project with excellent results."
"My Fulbright experience was about connection, research resources, people, diversity, and self-empowerment. One of the best ways to fill six months, and I am really grateful for it!"
