scholars and students. This contributes to our already strong USF Fulbright legacy,
and will also celebrate the road ahead in terms of the Fulbright legacy at USF.
USF Fulbright Day will consist of two events: a student panel discussion and networking
reception event. The panel and reception, held as part of USF Week, will celebrate
and promote Fulbright at USF, directly connecting to the goals of USF Week as the
event will: "embrace our Fulbright history, celebrate our Fulbright accomplishments,
and works towards our future with Fulbright".
The panel, called "My Fulbright Experience", will consist of past student Fulbright
recipients, as well as Heather Theisen-Gandara, Manager of Outreach and Recruitment
for the Institute for International Education (IIE), which manages the Fulbright US
Student Program. The student recipients will discuss their motivations for applying

impacted them professionally and personally.
