The Office of International Affairs was honored to host an orientation program for international Fulbright recipients. This is the sixth year that the University of Nebraska-Lincoln was chosen to host a Gateway Orientation.
The Fulbright Gateway Orientation is a benefit made available to incoming Fulbright grantees by the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) and administered by the Institute of International Education (IIE). The week-long orientation acquaints the participants with life at U.S. universities and prepares them for their studies at the various host universities throughout the country.
An important and unique aspect of the UNL program is a focus on community organization and development. Each scholar had an opportunity to visit a Nebraska community to learn how citizens organize to improve their community and how individuals and local groups can influence policy and decisions of government, particularly at the state and local level.
