Fulbright Association Launches Chapter Dedicated to Community Colleges

February 22, 2024

The Fulbright Association recently established a chapter dedicated to U.S. community colleges. The Association is organized through 57 chapters representing 6,500 Fulbright alumni. Though most chapters are geographically situated, the Community College Chapter of the Fulbright Association is an affinity chapter that meets virtually to encourage membership from across the country. The Fulbright Association chapter objectives are to welcome, support, and connect community college students, faculty, administration, leadership, and staff. 

Anoka-Ramsey Professor Named Chapter Secretary

Anoka-Ramsey Community College psychology professor, Laurie Wolfe, is named the chapter secretary and will serve a 2-year term. Wolfe was a Fulbright U.S. Scholar in Uzbekistan in 2019. She is also a certified yoga and meditation instructor. Her research focuses on the application of positive psychology and stress management techniques to teaching and learning.  

The chapter invites all current and former Fulbright grantees - regardless of type of award - to join the Fulbright Association and designate the Community Colleges Chapter as their chapter. Those wishing to support Fulbright advancement in community colleges who have received a Fulbright award can also join. In addition, the Fulbright Association welcomes institutional members.
