Austin College fosters an environment which asks students to push their boundaries in an attempt to be more open-minded, well-rounded and accepting. This ‘beyond the classroom’ type initiative helped mold me to educate, share, learn and grow; eventually leading to one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life: Fulbright Korea. From the lifetime friends you make to the students’ lives you touch (I still have students who contact me!) Fulbright shaped me into the person I am today. And Austin College shaped me for Fulbright.
