The Fulbright Scholars Program stands as a cornerstone for fostering international collaboration and cultural exchange among researchers and educators worldwide. This program serves a pivotal role in shaping the perspectives of management professors and researchers and provides career-defining and life-altering opportunities. Yet, many management scholars and teachers have little or no understanding of this program and its benefits. This PDW aims to bring awareness to this program and to delve into the transformative experiences of management professors who have participated in the Fulbright Scholars Program, exploring the program’s impact on their professional development, careers, research, and teaching approaches. This PDW will bring together scholars from across the globe who have participated in Fulbright exchanges, sharing their insights on the challenges and opportunities encountered during their international assignments. They will discuss the program, application process, experience in their host country, and lasting relationships developed. Attendees will gain valuable perspectives on the program and develop connections with former Fulbright Scholars.
