On Wednesday, June 24, 2015, all current Fulbright grantees were invited to the Foundation’s office to take part in the annual pre-departure orientation, an important informative session that prepares the grantees for their US stay and study. The event was attended by a number of US Embassy staff members, by Fulbright alumni, and by guests from the United States academic world. The speakers together with the Fulbright staff members depicted a wholesome and lively image of life and culture in the US and grantees were asked to freely express their concerns and ask questions.
