FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Eight Fulbright administrators are spending the next few weeks at the Indiana University School of Education as part of the U.S. Department of State's Fulbright Russian International Education Administrators Program.

In a competitive application process, the Center for International Education, Development and Research at the School of Education was chosen to host the administrators while they are at IU for about four weeks. During their time in Indiana, they will be learning about higher education in the U.S. and will also have cultural experiences, such as attending a performance at the IU Auditorium.
