Fulbright

LECTURE Fulbright and the Importance of International Education

4:10PM, October 29, 2013
International House Auditorium
2299 Piedmont Avenue, Berkeley

The Fulbright Program, administered by the U.S. Department of State, was founded in 1946 for the purposes of fostering exchange between American and international students. In this lecture Mrs. Fulbright will provide an intimate look into the origins of the program, describing how the idea for international exchange evolved over the course of her husband’s career in Congress. She will trace the program’s history from the passage of Senator Fulbright’s 1945 Bill, and what she sees as the future of his legacy.

HERE

JOURNAL Ground Up - Call for Submissions

Here is a common term, a workhorse word, a place to set the coffee.

Yet Here need not be so narrow.

Here can be defined by a finger pointing at a spot on the ground, or by a hand sweeping across the night sky.

It deals with memory and matter, time and action. Here delineates places, the people who inhabit them, and the processes that shape them. It is as much myth as it is material.

At any moment, Here may be a mosaic of contradictions: now and then, universal and particular, endemic and invasive, living and inert. It can signify a moment distilled, or a sequence across time.

GROUND UP is an annual publication of the Department of Landscape Architecture + Environmental Planning at the University of California at Berkeley. In this issue, we invite you to explore what it means to be Here.
