Secretary Clinton's Remarks on International Education: Study Abroad!

USF World Fulbright Breakfast, International Week 2012

USF President Judy Genshaft, Carnegie Fellow Larisa Patlis, former USF President and current Fulbright Board Member Betty Castor, and me

This year I was delighted to bring Carnegie Fellow Larisa Patlis with me to the Fulbright Breakfast at USF Tampa.  Hosted by USF World during International Month, this event recognizes Fulbrighters from and hosted by USF.

We were able to connect with a colleague from USF Tampa's political science department/Russian and Eurasian Studies Program (who had been a Fulbrighter to Russia) and discuss with him Larisa's research project.  I was able to connect with the central Florida Fulbright Association president (who is from USF Tampa). And I was able to introduce Larisa to USF President Judy Genshaft and to former president and Fulbright Board Member Betty Castor.

After the breakfast we made our way to Tampa International Airport, where we picked up the delegation of Australian political leaders I was hosting in conjunction with the State Department and the American Council of Young Political Leaders.

EXPLORE MOLDOVA presentation: November 14 at USFSP

Please join us at USFSP on Wednesday, November 14 from 12 to 1 pm for an encore presentation of "Explore Moldova!"

Larisa Patlis, Carnegie Fellow at USFSP and professor at ULIM in Chisinau, will deliver a presentation about Moldova's history, politics, and culture. 

I will share information about the Spring Break 2013 course.

Explore Moldova!

Larisa delivered a wonderful presentation -- Explore Moldova! -- about Moldova's history and culture.

I spoke about the Moldova Spring Break Study Abroad course.

If you missed this presentation, don't worry. We are going to schedule a 2nd session before the November 15th deadline to apply for the Study Abroad course.

I brought some show-and-tell items -- here are 2 of Peggy's dolls that we bought at the Art Market in Chisinau

I need to find this board game -- Where is Moldova?!

I brought some Bucuria chocolates to sweeten the deal.

Great Video: Chișinău, eu te iubesc / Кишинёв, я люблю тебя / Chisinau, i love you.

Carnegie Fellow at USFSP! Welcome to Florida, Larisa Patlis!

I am so delighted that Larisa Patlis, my colleague from ULIM (the university in Chisinau, Moldova where I taught while a Fulbright Scholar), is working with me at USFSP this Fall 2012 semester as a Carnegie Fellow!

As Larisa explains, her research project, Devolutionary Trends in the Republic of Moldova: the Case of Gagauz Yeri, "explores the origins of devolution in the Republic of Moldova, defining challenges to the unitary system and analyzing difficulties and opportunities that Moldova encounters with its territory’s integrity."
