38 FROM OUR FULBRIGHTERS The Multicultural Center organized a Mercato: an international market place in the University Center. Each country could have a stand, so of course we set up a German stand. We baked Apfelküchle, the students brought cakes, we put up posters, and showed a video. Here Zach Schmidt, a German major, explains to interested students the procedure for making Apfelküchle. THE FUNNEL • VOLUME 40 • NUMBER 2 • SUMMER 2004 Words for food. Julie Fischer, another German major, and Zach gave out short German lessons. Those who wanted to try the Blaubeerkuchen or Apfelküchle had to learn a German word first. Teaching is a lot of fun here! Both the students and the other teachers are extemely cooperative, friendly, and helpful. This semester I am teaching second semester German and an intermediate conversation class. Besides my regular classes, I meet my students every Friday for the German Table at Starbucks, for a movie, or for cooking and dinner in the language house. I am very happy to be here.
The German-American Fulbright Program The German-American Fulbright Program implements Senator J. William Fulbright’s visionary concept: The promotion of mutual understanding between our two countries through academic and bicultural exchange. The largest and most varied Fulbright program worldwide, the German-American Fulbright Program has sponsored over 30,000 Germans and Americans since its inception in 1952. The defining characteristic of the program is student exchange. This core program is complemented by academic year programs for professors, teachers, teaching assistants, and journalists; summer internship programs for students; and seminars for experts in university administration and German and American Studies. The Fulbright Commission is a binational board consisting of the German Foreign Minister and the American Ambassador to Germany, who act as honorary chairmen, and five German and five American members, all of whom are appointed by the honorary chairmen. Guidelines are provided by the J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board, whose members are appointed by the President of the United States. The program is administered by the Secretariat located in Berlin, Germany; the Secretariat’s partner on the American side is the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs in the U.S. Department of State. GERMAN-AMERICAN FULBRIGHT COMMISSION Das Deutsch-Amerikanische Fulbright-Programm Das deutsch-amerikanische Fulbright-Programm verwirklicht die visionäre Idee Senator Fulbrights: Die Förderung von gegenseitigem Verständnis zwischen den beiden Ländern durch akademischen und kulturellen Austausch. Als größtes und vielfältigstes Fulbright-Programm weltweit hat das deutsch-amerikanische Fulbright-Programm seit seiner Entstehung im Jahr 1952 mehr als 30.000 Amerikaner und Deutsche gefördert. Das besondere Merkmal des deutsch-amerikanischen Fulbright-Programms ist der Studentenaustausch. Dieses Kernprogramm wird ergänzt durch Jahresstipendien für Professoren, Lehrer und Fremdsprachenassistenten sowie durch Fortbildungsseminare für Hochschuladministratoren und Landeskundler. Die binationale Fulbright-Kommission besteht aus je fünf deutschen und amerikanischen Mitgliedern, die von den Ehrenvorsitzenden, dem deutschen Außenminister und dem amerikanischen Botschafter in Deutschland, benannt werden. Das J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board, dessen Mitglieder vom amerikanischen Präsidenten ernannt werden, erstellt die Richtlinien für das Fulbright-Programm. Das deutsch-amerikanische Fulbright-Programm wird vom Sekretariat in Berlin verwaltet. Der amerikanische Partner der Fulbright-Kommission ist das Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs im U.S. Department of State. THE FUNNEL • VOLUME 40 • NUMBER 2 • SUMMER 2004
