My Fulbright Austria experience was both professionally enriching and personally transformative. In addition to making personal connections with Austria and Austrians, working at the host university helped me to learn new academic perspectives, collaborative opportunities, and research approaches that have strengthened my work. The visit itself helped me improve my teaching and communication with students. Austria is a wonderful country to visit, work, and make new friendships.
