“If you are a faculty member considering a professional development award, applying for a Fulbright should be a no-brainer. The process of applying for the Fulbright forces you to consider your goals for time away from the university, establish relationships with groups around the world you’d like to work with and helps clarify what you hope to gain from the experience."
