Fulbrighters –– Today is !
So we wonder, how does a Fulbright experience lead to fighting a global health crisis?
On today’s special occasion, we’ve released a new eposide of our Fulbright Pulse Podcast: We are talking to our Alumna Anne von Fallois, who is CEO and Chair of the .
Anne’s journey spans from her Fulbright Year ‚91/92 at George Washington University and working on Capitol Hill, through years in the German public sector, to consulting, and finally, leading one of Germany’s most vital public health institutions. She stepped into this role two years ago, on this very day.
In this essential conversation, we discuss:
- How her Fulbright year shaped her mindset of mutual understanding, international collaboration and democratic values.
- The foundation’s critical work, from supporting people living with AIDS in Germany to funding grassroots projects in Kenya, South Africa, and Ukraine.
- The current global HIV landscape, including the impact of funding cuts and the urgent need for solidarity.
- Anne’s message to the Fulbright community about defending transatlantic friendship and shared values.
Anne’s story is a powerful reminder of how a commitment to public service, planted during a Fulbright year, can lead to a lifetime of global impact.
