Mid-Florida Chapter of the Fulbright Association
The Mid-Florida Chapter of the Fulbright Association is a regionally based chapter serving Fulbright alumni and friends of international exchange. The chapter is focused on hosting engaging programs and events for Fulbright alumni and visiting Fulbright students and scholars throughout the region, primarily in Tampa, St. Petersburg, Sarasota, and Orlando. The chapter is closely affiliated with universities and colleges in the region, and often co-sponsors programs with these institutions.
