Romanian Alumni Stories
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I had spent most of my two years before the Fulbright experience doing archival research. Therefore, the sudden switch from the small reading rooms of Romanian local archives to New York did have a tinge of pleasant abruptness."
"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."
"I do not feel I am exaggerating when I say that my overall Fulbright experience helped me rediscover myself as a person, helped me redefine my role in the society as a teacher and urged me to rethink my approach to doing science."
"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 different methodologies compared to the European ones, centered on extensive validations, have changed my approach in terms of conducting research. Also, the American culture has widened my perspective by introducing a fresh breeze and more commitment towards family and specific work values."
"Studying in the U.S. can be inspiring and challenging because you get exposed to different situations and unique cultures that are peculiar to the States. The Fulbright program offered me a Student Award to start my MFA in Film at Syracuse University, in Syracuse, NY."
