A Fulbrighter should know how to network!

We had a very good time mingling today with former fulbrighters, language connection team and Brazilian exchange students. Should I mention the special delicious crackers and biscuits? Makes me wonder why those are not served in the cafeteria? I really enjoyed associate professor, M. Tuchscherer's lecture. Instead of a long presentation about his work, he really took the time to drive us deep into the american culture and our final universities cultures. I think it was the most detailed and fun presentation on the subject we have had so far. One thing he said that really caught my attention is "Fulbright opens a very important door but you have to work to take advantage of it" Tuchscherer (2013. 3:16PM) LOL. People really have great perceptions of us Fulbrighters. They will often be open to our ideas. That is why we should be great networkers, upstanders Ruth DeRosa (2013) and accomplished leaders. Do not forget to connect with people wherever you go guys. Be bright, not half bright, FULLbright cited by Pam (2013)!
