Here’s the video clip from the recent visit to Fulbright by Rose Tseng, Chancellor of the University of Hawaii Hilo campus and Margaret Shiba, Senior Director of Development for the Hilo campus.
Here at Fulbright Korea, we have decided to let the world know a bit more about the range of our activities, using video and digital pictures. To the extent possible, we will be posting photos or short video clips of visits to Fulbright and its U.S. Education Center.
In an earlier post, we described the upgrades to web services that have been made possible by grants from the U.S. State Department. In connection with those activities, we were visited in August and again in early September by Rick O’Rourke, who serves as the REAC for Korea and other Asian countries. Rick had the opportunity to accompany senior Fulbright Staff on a tour of the DMZ near Hwacheon, and on a visit to the Peace Dam near there. During the visit he and Fulbright Deputy Director James Larson had the privilege to ring the Peace Bell, a massive traditional-style Korean bell made from melted-down bullets and other munitions. The Bell was dedicated by Nobel Peace laureates, including former president Kim Dae Jung. The thumbnail included in this post is from a snapshot taken during the ringing of the Peace Bell.
