[The Fulbright Program @FulbrightPrgrm]

Eighty years ago, President Harry S. Truman signed the Fulbright Act into law, reinforcing American global leadership by establishing a framework for an academic exchange program that continues to shape the world today. ✍️🌐

Championed by Arkansas Senator J. William Fulbright, the legislation was a bold investment in international peace, innovation, and scientific advancement that has improved the lives of Americans and the people of other countries alike.

Eighty years later, nearly 450,000 Fulbrighters in the United States and partner countries across the world, have contributed towards the program’s goal. This month, we’re celebrating the contributions and innovations of Fulbrighters over last eight decades.

We begin with the 1940s and Fulbright’s founding.

It was an honor to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States @America250 @Freedom250 at the U.S. Residence in Dublin, Ireland earlier this month. Thank you to @USAmbIreland Edward Sharp Walsh and @IrelandEmbUSA for hosting a spectacular program! It was a highlight to see my friends Greta Mulhall and @DanMulhall, former Ireland Ambassador to the USA. @MichaelMartinTD gave remarks about the signers of the Declaration of Independence who were Irish or of Irish descent. Visited with 20 cousins in Mallow, County Cork Ireland. And, I appreciated the invitation to be the invited guest at the roundtable with @Fulbright_Eire @DaraMFitzgerald and education stakeholders. @JamesOConnorTD Cork East, appreciated the invitation to meet with you, too.
