SPECIAL THANKS


WELCOMEWelcome to the 42nd Annual Fulbright Association Conference

We are delighted to welcome you to the Washington, D.C. area and the home of the

Fulbright Association. We hope that this year’s annual conference is a time to unite and

“Connect Hearts and Minds for Global Change,” with Fulbright Advocacy at the core.

This year’s conference showcases some of the best and brightest members of our

Fulbright community. The work that you will see this weekend highlights the diverse

contributions to global change that Fulbrighters and friends are making in places near

and far. Whether using dance as a means of healing or turning dreams into reality to

create long-lasting impact on communities, our presenters continue to shape our future

for the better.

We celebrate the Lifetime achievements of remarkable Fulbrighters like Kolinda

Grabar-Kitarović, Melissa Block, and James Polshek, three accomplished individuals in

leadership, journalism and architecture. We also use the annual meeting as a platform to

celebrate the community engagement through our 54 chapters nationwide.

This conference is an extraordinary opportunity to engage with the wonderful members

of our community and international partners. I hope that can continue your connections

beyond this weekend. After all, it is the collective power of our hearts and minds that will

drive global change now and for years to come.

All the best,

Mary Ellen Heian Schmider President, Board of Directors, Fulbright Association

The Renaissance Capital View Hotel operates a complimentary Airport shuttle service to and from the airport to the hotel. Look for a large white bus with the name “Arlington Capital View” along with the logos for all three properties (Renaissance, Residence Inn, and Courtyard) along the side windows of the vehicle. Above the front cab of the shuttle bus there is also the name “Arlington Capital View.” This service operates 7 days a week. Shuttles to the airport from the hotel begin at 5:00 am and operate every 30 minutes until 11:30 pm.

The hotel also operates a complimentary Metro shuttle. The Metro shuttle operates continuously every day during designated times, so it does not need to be reserved, scheduled, or requested. Our Metro Shuttle makes 2 stops only: near 23rd street/Crystal City Drive and to the Crystal City Metro Station. This shuttle operates continuously, approximately every 20 minutes throughout the day. The first shuttle is at 6:05 am and the last shuttle departs from the Crystal City Metro station to the hotel at 11:00 pm. At the Crystal City Metro Station, the shuttle will pick up and drop off at the sign that reads “Hotel Shuttle,” which is located on the street level under the bridge.

Note: The Metro opens later on Saturday (7:00 am) and Sunday (8:00 am) and the first shuttle departure from the hotel is adjusted to the later opening times on weekend days.

CONFERENCE LOGO DESIGNAlberto Cervantes, designer of the 2019 Conference Logo. Alberto Cervantes earned his bachelor’s degree from the School of Design at the National Institute of Arts in Mexico. Through a Fulbright grant awarded by the Fulbright-García Robles Program from 2005-2007, he completed his master’s degree in Communications Design at the Pratt Institute in New York. He worked for five years at the Wall Street Journal, and currently is the Infographic Director at Viacom.

“Fulbright has exposed me to a global community of bright and curious people that see the world as a place where ideas should be shared and discussed to everyone’s benefit,” says Alberto. “In times of divisiveness and intolerance, particularly at high levels of power, we need more organizations like Fulbright that believe in, encourage and foster the exchange of ideas, diversity, and progress through education.
