of 2007 Muskie Fellows

On behalf of IREX and the U.S. Department of State, we want to welcome the 2007 Muskie fellows, who arrived in early August for the Opening Workshop, before heading off to campuses throughout the United States to begin their programs of study.  This year the Muskie Program provided fellowships to 140 fellows from Eurasia and it was pleasure to welcome everyone to the U.S. at Gallaudet University, where we enjoyed two days of workshop activities to prepare for the challenges that lie ahead.  Guest presenters spoke on "Adjusting to Life in the United States: American Culture and Higher Education" and "Strategies for Finding and Obtaining Internships", while IREX staff facilitated interactive sessions on finance, housing, resume writing, and community service activities.
