Fulbright New Zealand is celebrating its 60th anniversary
in November with an afternoon symposium and an evening reception
in Auckland.
We will reflect on six decades of educational and cultural
exchange between graduate students, research scholars, teachers,
artists and professionals from New Zealand and the United
States of America. The event aims to celebrate the 60 year
achievements of Fulbright New Zealand, to strengthen relationships
with our alumni and stakeholders, and to increase wider public
awareness of Fulbright New Zealand and educational exchange
between New Zealand and the US.
