Consider making a donation to support the ongoing exchange programs. Budgets are tight and getting tighter. Core funding is flat since 1985. Now is an important time to extend U.S.-Taiwan ties. We could use your help. Download the Program Books and Annual Reports to read the programs’ impacts.

Celebrating 60 Years Of Educational Exchange

Quotes from the event

We absolutely still need you, Fulbright Program, to bring our world closer together where individuals act towards one another with thoughtfulness and civility.

There has been lines drawn in the world. Some visible, some invisible. Some artificial, some natural. But there are some nice, they are waiting for us to cross-over, and so there is boundary crossing. In my life, I have done lots of boundary crossing. From academia to politics, from Taiwan to the States and to the other countries. But also there is a lot of knowledge of understanding that needs to be preached. Over the years, I have benefited from Fulbright to increase my understanding and to facilitate my boundary crossing.

Think Globally

Fulbright Thought Leader Forum

Keynote, Performance, Round table: June 2nd 2017

Thought Leader Forum: “Leadership Challenge: Equity, Ethics, and Globalization”

Quotes from the event

Bringing together people who disagree is not the easy way to go. It gets loud, it gets messy. But it is the right way to go in a full democracy like ours.

Senator Fulbright was a hero for Americans who came to political consciousness in the mid-1960s—as I did and for a lot of other Americans as well—because he used his division as Chairman of Reform Relations Committee to challenge the Johnson Administration's military invasion intervention in Vietnam. He did so not only because he thought this was the wrong war in the wrong place at the wrong time but also because in theory that Congress would not be able to properly monitor the White House and the Pentagon, the title and reason of his most famous book, The Arrogance of Power, says it all.

Act Locally

Fulbright Tree Planting Initiative

April 21, 2016 a tree was planted on Capitol Hill in DC Honoring Senator Fulbright. Fulbright Taiwan would like to extend the idea to planting on as many campuses and school grounds as possible. Arrange to plant a tree in the Senator’s honor on your campus or at your alma mater.
Use the tree planting to reach out to all Fulbright alumni, both on campus and graduates. Or, simply arrange a planting to add a little beauty and capture a little carbon!

Fulbright Talks and Reunion

Organize a local event or activity in your campus or city. Consider a brown bag, small reception, panel, lecture, movie, etc. to talk about Taiwan or the Fulbright vision.
All academic topics are welcomed. The overall theme is “Leadership Challenge: Equity, Ethics, and Globalization.”
Perhaps an International Education Office, Development Offices, or East Asian Program would like participate.

Instructions

Join your colleagues around the U.S. and Taiwan. Donate and plant a tree at your university, school, business location, public park, government office, etc.

Anytime in 2018-2019! We recommend spring or fall as the best planting seasons. Plant a decent size tree 1-4 inches. Choose a variety native to and emblematic of your location! Talk to the landscape planner/grounds keeper for hints. Care for it!
A plaque will be donated by Fulbright Taiwan, and a record is kept.
Events in America TECO/TECRO can help!
