RE: Fulbright Program Adviser (FPA) Workshops & Student Information Sessions
       National Security Education Undergraduate Program (NSEP) Adviser & Student Information Sessions             
 
 
For the 2005-2006-competition cycle, FPA & NSEP Adviser workshops and student information sessions will be held in Los Angeles at UCLA on Monday, August 30; in Atlanta at Georgia State Univ. on Wednesday, September 1; in St. Louis at Washington Univ. on Friday, September 3 and at IIE/New York on Friday, September 10.  The following schedule provides exact locations.
 
The Fulbright workshops are especially important for Advisers new to their Fulbright U.S. Student Program responsibilities.  The workshops will deal with all practical aspects of the program from publicizing the program on your campus, to submitting applications to IIE, to selection and notification procedures. 
 
The FPA workshops will be held from 9:30 a.m. until noon and will be followed by student information sessions from 1:30 until 3:30 pm., except in New York.    
 
 The National Security Education Program (NSEP) will also be conducting adviser workshops and student information sessions at the three sites.  The Adviser and students sessions will alternate with the Fulbright sessions, so Advisers who work on both programs will be able to attend a workshop on both Fulbright and NSEP.  If you are interested in attending or would like further information on the NSEP sessions, please contact Jaínet Carter (202) 326-7780 or jcarter@iie.org  
 
Students unable to attend one of the in-person afternoon sessions following the FPA workshops, should be reminded that USP also conducts monthly information sessions at IIE/New York which are video conferenced to our regional offices in Chicago, Denver, Houston, San Francisco and Washington DC.  FPAs may wish to advise their students of the video conference alternative.  Complete information is contained on the inside front cover of the Fulbright brochure and on our website at www.iie.org/fulbright/us.
 
Unfortunately, we cannot provide funds to offset the costs of attending one of the workshops.  Attendees are responsible for their own travel and hotel arrangements.  However, for your convenience, some suggestions for lodging at each of the sites have been included on the schedule.
 
If you plan on attending one of the workshops, please reply to Walter Jackson in US Student Programs by E-mail (wjackson@iie.org) or by telephone (212) 984-5327.
 
We thank you for your continued support of the Fulbright Program.
