Fulbright Bulgaria thanks its sponsors for their support: FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR CONTENTS Fall 2020 was challenging time for all around the world, and Bulgaria was no exception. The summer of 2020 had given us a bit of a respite from strict pandemic measures – warm weather made outside activities possible, while case counts FEATURE remained relatively low. At 02 Six ETAs Return to Bulgaria Fulbright Bulgaria we were hopeful that the lessons learned FEATURE from Bulgaria’s effective 04 Digital +/- Presence campaign to curb of the virus during the spring would help the country avoid a major second SUCCESS STORY wave when the academic year began again in September. Thus with 06 Bulgarian Students in the U.S. cautious optimism we navigated the complexities of visa regulations and travel restrictions and brought our group of six returning ETAs HOLIDAY STORYTELLING to Bulgaria on September 1. We also helped three degree-seeking 08 Clever, Kind, Tricky and Sly Bulgarian students travel to the US to begin their programs. The academic year began optimistically, with high school and universities offering in-person instruction. For nearly two months our ETAs were reunited with students they had not seen since March, and were able to restart their extracurricular activities. However, by early November, Bulgaria, like most of Europe, found itself facing a second wave of Covid-19 cases, which eventually forced all schools to shift to online instruction. The rising case counts also put pressure BG LANGUAGE TRAINING on the healthcare system here as in many places around the world, 09 Говорите ли български? thus the Fulbright Commission, in consultation with the US Embassy and other partners, made the difficult decision to suspend the US FOCUS ON US GRANTEE program in Bulgaria once again. 12 Danielle Harris We would like to thank our brave cohort of six ETAs who came to FOCUS ON BG GRANTEE Bulgaria and worked tirelessly with their students this fall.

Our six returning ETAs were able to spend almost two months in the classroom with their students in Lovech, Ruse, Burgas, Dimtrovgrad, Yambol and Varna, as the pandemic situation remained relatively stable in the early autumn. However, by late October, case numbers in Bulgaria, Nancy Schiller greets the group as in much of Europe, began rising precipitously, putting unprecedented pressure on the healthcare system and forcing schools to switch to online teaching. In partnership with the US Embassy and our program sponsors, in November the Fulbright Commission made the difficult decision to suspend the ETA program once again, and all ETAs departed Bulgaria by late November. We were extremely grateful to our six ETAs who returned this fall and spent another few months teaching - you were a welcome ray of light to your schools and communities in what has been an otherwise very difficult year. We wish our AY2020-21 ETA cohort all the best and hope to see them in Bulgaria Meeting with US Embassy representatives again at some point in the future!

The eating clubs are private entities, and information regarding demographic information of eating club members is primarily limited to that collected in the University’s senior survey and the USG-sponsored voluntary COMBO survey. The Task Force on the Relationships between the University and the Eating Clubs published a report in 2010 investigating the role of eating clubs on campus, recommending the removal of barriers to inclusion and diversity and the addition of eating club programming for prospective students and University-sponsored alternative social programming. Demographic collection for exclusive groups is not the norm at Ivy League institutions. Harvard’s student newspaper issued an online survey in 2013 to collect information about final club membership, reporting on ethnicity, sexuality, varsity athletic status, and legacy status.
