The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) invites you to listen to Fulbright Program Officer Dineo Brinson interview Fulbright U.S. Student alumna Chiamaka "Chi-Chi" Ukachukwu. Join the event on Facebook Live to listen to Chi-Chi discuss her international exchange experience in Belgium as a science scholar, and her thoughts on diversity and Black History Month.
Chi-Chi was a Fulbright U.S. Student in Biology in Brussels, Belgium from 2017-2018. During the program, Chi-Chi co-created the Instagram account @FulbrightNoir to highlight the projects of Black Fulbright grantees, using it as a platform to increase awareness about the Fulbright Program and to encourage more underrepresented groups to apply. Chi-Chi is now a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Pharmacology at the University of Michigan.
ECA launched the Inside Exchanges: Black History Month edition this February to showcase diversity within their programs.
We encourage all program alumni, partners, and friends to engage with Fulbright and their communities.
Tell us about your Fulbright experience, or how a Fulbrighter has impacted your life.
