Our family traveled to Washington, DC in early June 2008 to attend the orientation session for Fulbright scholars. Over 150 people (faculty and student participants) attended the orientation--specifically for those headed to subSaharan Africa in the next academic year. It was held in the Wyndham City Center.
We met the two students and two other faculty families that will be in Windhoek, Namibia. One faculty member will be at the University of Namibia (UN)and the other will be at the International University of Management. Both students will be at UN. Our posting is to Polytechnic of Namibia. Great to have other folks with similar concerns and questions--all heading to same place. We also enjoyed the opportunity to converse with a former Fulbrighter who had been at Polytechnic two years ago.
Larkin attended classes on logistics, security, US State Department policy, and general information about Africa Fulbright experiences. Kelly and Tristan explored Washington, DC during Larkin's meetings. We became experts on the DC Metro. A great experience as we make preparations to spend 11 months in Namibia!
