Konstantinos Petridis, Greek Scholar-in Residence  

From January to June 2025, I had the exceptional honor of serving as a Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence at York College of Pennsylvania (YCP)—an experience that was truly life-changing, both personally  and professionally. It offered me a unique window into the U.S. Higher Education System through direct engagement in teaching, mentoring, and institutional collaboration. [...] Through my teaching, I also had the opportunity to enrich the learning experience by inviting online guest speakers from Greece and across Europe to contribute as experts during my lectures. This intercultural element brought diverse perspectives into the classroom and fostered meaningful transatlantic academic dialogue. [...] In my view, Fulbright is one of the world’s most impactful and visionary science diplomacy programs. It has not only broadened my academic and cultural perspective but has also made me a lifelong friend of the United States. This journey reaffirmed my belief in the transformative power of international education and the essential role of collaboration in shaping a more connected and inclusive academic future. Read more

After having done some research about the Fulbright Scholarship and the immense possibilities it offers to educators to redefine educational processes, I knew this would be the stepping stone to achieve this change. [...] To all potential Fulbrighters out there I say: ‘Go for it - The sky is the limit!' Read more
