Julia Nema

Fulbright US Student English Teaching Assistant
Major: Political Science

"As a Fulbright English Teaching Assistant in the Czech Republic, I gained invaluable insight into the nuances that make pedagogy critical for societal development with every presentation or tutoring session. While traveling to new European towns, my appreciation for travel expanded while my love of culture, tradition and language learning deepened. These rich experiences broadened my horizons about the surrounding world and helped me cultivate a newfound passion for service and learning in and outside the classroom."

Joseph Zinno
'22 COE

Fulbright U.S. Student Grantee, Finland
Major: Mechanical Engineering

"CRF enabled me to be a Fulbright grantee by challenging me to delve into the ‘why?’ behind my passion to be a Fulbright recipient. CRF’s support throughout the scholarship/grant processes is so impactful because of the time that they take to get to know the students, who we are and what our interests are, and this level of intent and care truly shows and makes a difference. The Fulbright program has opened my eyes up to the world around me, and CRF has been with me on this journey since the day I even had an interest in applying. "
