Celebrating the Fulbright Program in Haiti

Port au Prince, Haiti – Recognizing the value of two-way academic exchange, Chargé d’Affaires Robin Diallo hosted Fulbrighters past and present to celebrate the successes of the program and discuss how advanced degrees serve Haiti’s future.  The Fulbright Program is the keystone exchange program of the U.S. Government and reflects U.S. commitment to educational excellence and cultural exchange.  In Haiti, the Program selects academically talented students and scholars to pursue doctoral or master’s degrees at American universities.

The U.S. Embassy recognizes the work of the American scholars in Haiti, Margaret Jann, Ph.D. who teaches architecture at Université Quisqueya and Irene Brisson, Ph.D. who work independently on the field of architecture in Léogane. We congratulate the cohort of seven (7) Haitian Fulbright nominees who will be traveling to the United States to complete their masters’ degrees.
