Dear
Arizona Fulbrighters!
I
am pleased to announce that the US State Department
and the Fulbright Association has once again awarded
our chapter an Enrichment Grant to partially fund our
activities. We have an exciting slate of events, and
I hope to see all of you at some of them sometime during
the year. We are particularly excited about lectures
to be given by prominent leaders of the Navajo Tribe
(Peterson Zah, Ferlin Clark, and Johnson Dennison).
What follows is the schedule. As you can see we still
have details to work out for some of these events. There
will be announcements posted to the listserv as details
become available. You can also check our website at:
http://fulbright.asu.edu/ Dianne Hansford at ASU and
our chapter webmaster maintains the website and we are
grateful for her service!

We
will meet at the Arizona Sonoran Desert Museum (outside
of Tucson) at 7:30 am for a continental breakfast
in the Ocotillo room. We will be provided with a
docent to give an overview of the museum. Then people
will be free to explore the grounds on their own.
Hopefully they will meet some of the visiting Fulbrighters
and will link up with these new friends over coffee
first thing in the morning and then tour the grounds
together. |
