Fulbright Canada is pleased to welcome the incoming cohort of American Fulbright students and scholars, along with the entire cohort of Killam Fellows, to its annual fall orientation in Canada’s national capital on September 7th and 8th.
Fall orientation is a time to get to know one another, meet the staff of the Foundation, engage with representatives from both Canadian and American governments, experience life in Canada’s national capital, and get started on what promises to be an exciting and transformative experience.
During orientation, students and scholars engage in various academic and cultural activities. The participants also enjoy formal academic panel discussions, highlighting the research of several Fulbright scholars. Orientation concludes with one of Canada’s favourite pastimes – the good old hockey game, Tim Horton’s, and pizza.
Fall Orientation is an important part of the overall exchange experience. The goal is to welcome students and scholars to Canada, familiarize them with the program, and provide them with an important in-person opportunity to connect with their new colleagues.
