In 2003, the Fulbright Association’s Global Fulbright Alumni Seminar brought together 19 representatives from 14 countries with approximately 200 U.S. Fulbright alumni to: 1) build the community of participants at the conference, enhancing their ability to contribute and engage with each other; 2) engage people in developing a strategy for building the international community outside the bounds of the conference and between conferences; and 3) involve conferees in developing an approach for supporting the Fulbright Program.
