2 CONNECTING MINDS & HEARTS FOR GLOBAL CHANGE FULBRIGHT 42ND ANNUAL CONFERENCE 3 WELCOME

Welcome to the 42nd Annual Fulbright Association Conference

We are delighted to welcome you to the Washington, D.C. area and the home of the Fulbright Association. We hope that this year’s annual conference is a time to unite and “Connect Hearts and Minds for Global Change,” with Fulbright Advocacy at the core.

This year’s conference showcases some of the best and brightest members of our Fulbright community. The work that you will see this weekend highlights the diverse contributions to global change that Fulbrighters and friends are making in places near and far. Whether using dance as a means of healing or turning dreams into reality to create long-lasting impact on communities, our presenters continue to shape our future for the better.

We celebrate the Lifetime achievements of remarkable Fulbrighters like Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović, Melissa Block, and James Polshek, three accomplished individuals in leadership, journalism and architecture. We also use the annual meeting as a platform to celebrate the community engagement through our 54 chapters nationwide.

This conference is an extraordinary opportunity to engage with the wonderful members of our community and international partners. I hope that can continue your connections beyond this weekend. After all, it is the collective power of our hearts and minds that will drive global change now and for years to come.

All the best, Mary Ellen Heian Schmider President, Board of Directors, Fulbright Association

CONFERENCE LOGO DESIGN Alberto Cervantes, designer of the 2019 Conference Logo. Alberto Cervantes earned his bachelor’s degree from the School of Design at the National Institute of Arts in Mexico. Through a Fulbright grant awarded by the Fulbright-García Robles Program from 2005-2007, he completed his master’s degree in Communications Design at the Pratt Institute in New York. He worked for five years at theWall Street Journal, and currently is the Infographic Director at Viacom. “Fulbright has exposed me to a global community of bright and curious people that see the world as a place where ideas should be shared and discussed to everyone’s benefit,” says Alberto. “In times of divisiveness and intolerance, particularly at high levels of power, we need more organizations like Fulbright that believe in, encourage and foster the exchange of ideas, diversity, and progress through education.
