The Fulbright Peace Fountain – University of Arkansas Campus (Fayetteville)
The Fulbright Association is made up of alumni and supporters of the Fulbright Scholarship Program. We share the common experience of having developed friendships in nations around the world. The Fulbright Program is known as the flagship US government initiative to promote peace and understanding through international educational exchange. In Arkansas, we have many Fulbright alumni and Fulbright scholars from around the world at our universities and research centers.
One of the goals of the Arkansas Fulbright Association Chapter is to connect Fulbright alumni to share experiences with each other and to connect the alumni with current visiting Fulbrighters from other countries. We will be using the Arkansas Fulbright Association Chapter web site as our main means of communication for Chapter activities for Fulbright Association members and current Fulbrighters to meet and interact.
