Romanian Alumni Stories
"My Fulbright experience was extraordinary because it was a multi-facet one, extremely rich and complex. Due to it, I am now a Meliora person with nice memories of the people I met and places I have been."
"This was ultimately the life-changing experience and story that my New York Fulbright experience gave me: I became part of a diverse international community of people who shared the same values and commitments."
"All in all, it was an extraordinary scientific and life experience that I recommend to anyone who wishes to get to a new level in his/her career."
"I am grateful for this amazing experience and I hope that the legacy of Hubert H. Humphrey will further continue to create agents of change across the world, united around a common set of values."
"This Fulbright experience is hard to forget, especially when you are a first-time visitor to the US like myself. Vanderbilt keeps on bringing back memories of wonderful people and places and makes me think that a short-lived American dream like this is a real keepsake which tells me that I will come back soon."
"The most important fact for me was that I have discovered an American society that is culturally very strong and deep rooted and a system of values stronger than the media and politics, which will survive in almost any circumstances, beyond tipping points and paradigm changes."
"The entrepreneurial culture in the U.S. is channeled around universities, with the support of the entrepreneurship centers. I have clearly understood that there are numerous possibilities to support entrepreneurship and it takes time to get the best results –success doesn’t come over night."
"My Fulbright visit at Rutgers has offered amazing opportunities not only to present my work in the area of Human-Animal Interactions to some of the faculties of Rutgers University and SSW students, but also to establish valuable connections for future collaborations."
"As the overarching goal of the Fulbright program is that of „mutual understanding between people” I believe this can truly occur only when you develop your own internal models by reaching out and engaging across boundaries."
"The Fulbright Scholar Award gave me the unique opportunity to conduct research at the reputed Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism at the University of Southern California, and meet top scholars in communication and public diplomacy."
