"I just wanted to say how deeply and profoundly my exchange to Romania has affected my career. Truly, Romania is my home away from home. I have so many friends and colleagues there and have now visited well over a dozen times. I remain a champion for the program and laud the beauty of Romanian culture at every opportunity."
Thinking Outside the Box
Sophia Henry, ETA Fulbright Lecturer at the West University in Timisoara, recently participated in a conference organized in Oradea: “From December 8-9, 2017 I participated in the “Thinking Outside the Box: American Studies Goes West” conference, a joint venture between the West University of Timişoara American Studies MA Program and Partium Christian University, hosted in Oradea, Romania. It was a wonderful chance to see my students from UVT present on a wide variety of topics related to American Culture, and I even learned a few new things too!
I closed out the conference with my talk, ‘Between Two Worlds,’ which centered on my experience as a Fulbright ETA in Romania. The conference was a wonderful chance to exchange ideas and discourse between our two universities, as well as encourage the Romanian Masters students to apply for a Fulbright grant to study in United States themselves!”
