The Fulbright Program, established by Congress in 1946, is the U.S. government’s flagship program of international educational and cultural exchange, enabling students and scholars to study, teach, conduct research, exchange ideas and contribute to mutual understanding.

In 2023–24, College of Agriculture faculty participated in two Fulbright programs.

• Fulbright Scholars build their skills and connections, gain valuable international insights, and return home to share their experiences with their students and colleagues.
  • Douglass Jacobs, van Eck Chair of Forest Biology and professor of forestry and natural resources
  • Dharmendra Saraswat, associate professor of agricultural and biological engineering

• The Fulbright Specialist Program pairs highly qualified U.S. academics and professionals with host institutions abroad to share their expertise, strengthen institutional linkages, hone their skills, gain international experience and learn about other cultures while building capacity at their overseas host institutions.
  • Steve Lindemann, Philip E. Nelson Endowed Chair in Food Science
  • Kwamena Quagrainie, clinical engagement professor of agricultural economics and forestry and natural resources
