My Fulbright experience taught me that meaningful relationships are possible when we empty our assumptions, seek to understand, and truly listen; our differences are not barriers but opportunities for exchanges and connections.
I made lifelong bonds with my cohort and my students, learned about the rich history and culture I come from, and most importantly, what it means to be Korean-American and a bridge builder.
Fulbright Korea remains the most rewarding experience in my life thus far due to the relationships I formed with my students and co-workers.
My brilliant students represent everything that is fantastic about the Fulbright experience.
Being at Kyung Hee University was like living and working in a picture postcard. It was truly a once in a lifetime experience.
A fascinating opportunity to reconnect with the people and a culture I first experienced as a Peace Corps Volunteer in 1970, and I enjoyed my interactions with a new generation of undergraduate and graduate students.
My family and I had a wonderful time living and learning among students from Korea and around the world!
Ten months as a Fulbright Senior Scholar during 2019, along with prior Fulbright experience in Latin America, became a high point of my life and career.
