Prof. Amal Wagih H. Mostafa

My Fulbright programme provided a life-changing chance for me to explore another culture, engage with local people, academics, and students, and further my academic studies while also gaining a better grasp of world concerns. This trip gave me a fresh outlook on the world and promoted cross-cultural understanding, both of which are essential in the globally connected society of today.

During my time abroad, I faced various challenges, such as cultural differences, adapting to a new academic or professional environment. These challenges represented valuable learning experiences, as they pushed me out of your comfort zone and encourage my personal advancement.

One of the major advantages of a Fulbright experience was that it gave me the chance to develop meaningful relationships with individuals from all backgrounds, leading to the development of lifelong friendships and professional networks. In addition to enhancing my own knowledge and abilities, working with local academics, students, and professionals has promoted intellectual and cultural interchange between my native Egypt and the United States.

Upon returning from my Fulbright experience, I brought back valuable insights and experiences that positively impacted my personal and professional life. The skills I acquired, such as adaptability, intercultural communication, and research expertise, applied in various contexts and contributed to my future endeavors.

Being a Fulbright alumnus also gives me access to a global network of academics, professionals, and leaders in several industries. The relationships I made while I was a Fulbright student gave me continuous chances for cooperation, research partnerships, and career advancement in my home country Egypt.
