Everyone has a story to tell, be it your experiences as a Fulbright grantee, or your work with a Fulbright grantee.  The Fulbright Academy is working with others to document the impact of the Fulbright program on individuals and institutions.  We would love to hear some of your stories.  How did the program influence you, your family, your work?  Tell about your preparations for departure or what happened during your first week.
