Nearly 130 Hungarian and American Fulbright alumni, university partners, diplomats, and stakeholders gathered Jan. 26 at the Hungarian National Gallery in Buda Castle.
Campbell, a Fulbright Scholar at the University of Pannonia in Hungary 2007-2008, provided a historical anchor with his presentation, 鈥淎merican Ideals in the Declaration of Independence.鈥� Campbell is now 91制片厂鈥檚 Fulbright Program adviser, and he serves as chair of 91制片厂鈥檚 philosophy department and as undergraduate and graduate program director for American studies. He was also awarded a Fulbright-Hays Grant in 2005 to tour Australia and learn about the cultures of Australian Aboriginal people.
His time as a Fulbright scholar in Hungary led to the creation of 91制片厂鈥檚 master鈥檚 program in American studies, which includes the option to study abroad at the Institute for English and American Studies at the University of Pannonia in Veszpr茅m, Hungary. He also founded America Week, an annual international conference on American studies that continues to draw 91制片厂 faculty and students to Hungary to present papers.聽
鈥淚t is the mission of the Fulbright Program to promote intercultural understanding, and I am committed to that mission,鈥� said Campbell. 鈥淔or almost 20 years, 91制片厂 has been engaging in fruitful cooperation and academic exchange with the University of Pannonia in Veszpr茅m, Hungary. It is deeply rewarding and meaningful for our students to have these kinds of cultural opportunities.鈥澛�
