Fulbright Means Family
Mina Kerr Vidrine is currently a Fulbright ETA at Transilvania University in Brașov and, as if to provide one more proof the Fulbright experience touches many and in most unexpected ways, here is the latest news from her:
Yesterday we held an event at the university with Donna Vidrine. My mother-in-law, who was visiting from California, came to speak with first year students in their American Democracy class about her recent City Council campaign in San Clemente, CA. The students learned about the responsibilities of local government, how campaigns are financed and operated, and about how young people in California participate in politics. They also got to ask questions such as “what is a city council meeting like?”
