This workshop will examine social, economic, and civil systems that frame community engagement efforts and explore how to work within these systems in a multidisciplinary manner to advance shared goals with community partners.

On April 23, Cecilia Kocinski-Mulder, a Fulbright program officer with primary expertise in Europe, will hold individual Zoom consultations with faculty members who are considering applying for a Fulbright. As of March 23, the 2021-2022 Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program* is still open for applications. The deadline to apply is September 15, 2020. The Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program offers approximately 800 teaching, research or combination teaching and research awards in over 125 countries. It is open to faculty members in all ranks and all disciplines who are US citizens. Faculty interested in scheduling a one-on-one consultation with Kocinski-Mulder should contact Alan Rutenberg (arutenberg@utk.edu). * The Fulbright U.S. Scholar program is entirely different from the student Fulbright program, which is administered by a separate organization.
