Thursday, October 14, 2021, was a beautiful day in Cleveland, Ohio. The weather was unseasonably warm, and the fall foliage was especially colorful. I was, therefore, pleasantly surprised when approximately 20 colleagues decided to spend part of that day at our indoor networking event. In this season of social distancing, seemingly ever-changing health and wellness guidelines, and Zoom meetings, it was nice to see chapter members and other friends of international education at the Western Reserve Historical Society–even if I did not recognize some of these masked scholars right away!
Chandel Smith was kind enough to capture some of the special photographic memories that I included below, and I thank her for giving me permission to share these images with you. As the Fulbright Association’s 75th Anniversary celebration continues through the end of 2021, I invite you to watch for more photographs and stories about the contributions of Northeast Ohioans to Fulbright‘s “75 Years of Global Impact.”
