3:48 p.m., Jan. 13, 2004--Foreign scholars and leaders from 18 countries have begun a month-long visit to the University sponsored by the Fulbright American Studies Institute.
The institute, created by the U.S. Department of State in response to renewed calls for public diplomacy after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, is being held at UD for the second time. This year, the University hosts senior scholars, civic leaders and military leaders from Argentina, Brazil, Egypt, Greece, Germany, India, Italy, Jamaica, Mozambique, Pakistan, Peru, South Korea, Slovenia, Taiwan, Tanzania, Vietnam, the West Bank and Yemen.
The group will attend seminars on national security and foreign policy led by faculty from UD and other universities. The visitors will meet with policymakers in Delaware, New York, Boston and Washington, D.C.
They also will visit the Department of Defense, Department of State, the National Security Council, the National Intelligence Council, Dover Air Force Base, the United Nations, the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services and many Delaware agencies.
The program, which runs until Feb. 4, is hosted by the
Department of Political Science and International Relations and UDs Center for International Studies. For more information, visit the institute web site at [http://international.udel.edu/projects/grants/fulbright2004.html]
