PSU hosts incoming foreign Fulbright students
Students from China to South Africa will congregate Aug. 15 through 19 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the School of Business, Shattuck Hall and Cramer Hall at PSU for an orientation meant to foster a Fulbright identity and heighten cross-cultural awareness.
PSU’s involvement in the event ties into Wim Wiewel’s Global Excellence goal, according to program coordinator Andrea Gorman.
Each gateway site highlights the culture of the host city, Fulbright leaders said.
This year marks the eighth time PSU has hosted the annual Fulbright Gateway Orientation since 2004. The Office of International Affairs seeks volunteers to help with the event. A mandatory training meeting will take place from noon to 3 p.m. Aug. 12.
