After the closing remarks, the program was moved from inside auditorium to the atrium. Here all the attendees were served with a special Thanksgiving dinner by Chartwells. This menu was chosen to enhance the theme of Friendsgiving and as an early celebration of Thanksgiving which would be in the following week. At the same time, the audience also had a chance to learn about the Fulbright impact and scholarship agencies in some countries such as Angola, Argentina, Belarus, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Ecuador, Indonesia, Jamaica, Kosovo, and Latvia through some poster presentation. Fulbrighters who prepared the posters were ready at the table to explain the visitors about the Fulbright scholarship programs offered in each of these countries. Each poster also featured two or more Fulbright alumni who did significant impact for their countries back home. The goal of this information session was to educate the audience (American and international students, faculty and staff, and community members) about real impact of Fulbright scholarship program in foreign countries which has lasted for 70 years.
