Each year, the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) recognizes Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) as “Fulbright HBCU Institutional Leaders” for their noteworthy engagement with the Fulbright Program. ECA established the Fulbright HBCU Institutional Leaders Initiative in 2019 to recognize and commend the strong partnership between the Fulbright Program and HBCUs and to encourage all HBCUs to increase their engagement with Fulbright. This initiative is part of the U.S. State Department’s long-standing commitment to build diversity and inclusion within the Fulbright Program and within the Bureau’s exchange programs overall.
Assistant Secretary for Educational and Cultural Affairs Lee Satterfield announced the 2023 Fulbright Institutional Leaders.
The U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) recognizes Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) annually as “Fulbright HSI Leaders” for their noteworthy engagement with the Fulbright Program. This initiative is part of the U.S. State Department’s long-standing commitment to continue to build diversity and inclusion within the Fulbright Program and all the Bureau’s international exchange programs. ECA established this designation in 2021 to acknowledge the strong partnerships between the Fulbright Program and HSIs, and to encourage all HSIs to increase their Fulbright engagement on campus. Having strong HSI participation in the U.S. government’s flagship international exchange program is critical to fully representing the diversity of the United States through the Program.
The 2023 Fulbright Hispanic-Serving Institutional Leaders were announced at the annual Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU) conference.
We encourage all program alumni, partners, and friends to engage with Fulbright and their communities.
