In the aftermath of World War II, the United States Congress set aside funds to create the Fulbright Program, a “flagship international academic exchange program.” Arkansas senator J. William Fulbright introduced the program through legislation in 1946 and President Harry Truman signed it into law. The goal was to promote the educational value of international understanding and collaboration. This vision is reflected nearly 80 years after its initiation into western society. Fulbrighters, as they are fondly nicknamed, come from all backgrounds from students and teachers to artists and professionals. The program, nevertheless, is not to be taken lightly. It is highly competitive and the lucky students that are accepted receive the opportunity to travel out of the country. In doing so, the program allows them to develop professionally and learn not only about other cultures but themselves as well. The Justice spotlights four senior fellows who will be pursuing their passions through Fulbright following graduation.
