Student Enrichment & Awards Programs
Bay & Beyond Program

IIE West Coast Center’s Bay & Beyond Program provides a wealth of opportunities for Fulbright grantees in the Bay Area to take an occasional break from studies for a group activity. These gatherings are popular with grantees for the chance it gives them to explore a special part of the Bay Area or enjoy a cultural event in the company of fellow Fulbrighters.

We also co-host occasional three-way Fulbright events for IIE’s international graduate Fulbrighters, returned U.S. Fulbrighters who have studied or done research in other countries, and international faculty-level Fulbrighters who are doing research at Bay Area universities.

Past Bay & Beyond events have included:

San Francisco Opera dress rehearsals;

a breakfast gathering followed by a tour of Mission Dolores, San Francisco’s oldest historical building;

a picnic lunch at Jack London State Park in Glen Ellen, combined with a winery tour;

a welcome reception at IIE preceded by a short orientation session for new grantees;

and more, including an annual juried Fulbright Art Exhibit in February.

If you are a Fulbright grantee currently studying in the San Francisco Bay Area, please write to wcoast@iie.org for more information on Bay & Beyond events.
