Indiana University among the top 10 institutions sending Fulbright students abroad
The 19 IU Bloomington Fulbright recipients represent a variety of disciplines and will go to 15 countries in Europe, Latin America and Asia.
Indiana University published a press release about me and other students who received Fulbright support that year.

The student research fellowship allowed me to conduct ethnographic research in Tamil Nadu, India, for seven months from February 2016 through August 2016. It also allowed me to present preliminary research at the regional conference for the South and Central Asia program participants, held in Jaipur, India, in February 2016.

My Fulbright-Nehru Fellow profile

Before I returned to the US, I was also able to offer guidance and my perspectives to incoming student fellows (mostly undergraduates) at the in-country orientation for 2016-2017 grantees in New Delhi, India. I presented on two panels with three other alumni.

One of the things I have enjoyed most about being involved in Fulbright programs is the opportunity to meet so many interesting and driven people of all ages and backgrounds, committed to international education and research.
