Faculty Opportunities Abroad
For over fifty years, the Fulbright Program has offered U.S. faculty, professionals, teachers, and students the opportunity to conduct research, teach, or study abroad and to make major contribution to understanding. The program also brings foreign nationals to the United States to study, teach, and pursue research. The purpose of the program is "...to increase mutual understanding between people of the United States and the people of other countries ... and thus to assist in the development of friendly, sympathetic, and peaceful relations between the United States and other countries of the world."
Faculty Opportunities for Former Fulbright Scholars:
Lecture Aboard Cruise Ships - Fulbright Alumni with strong public speaking skills and expertise in worldwide destinations are needed. Through FAST and Sixth Star, there are many opportunities to sail as a "Guest Lecturer" onboard ships sailing everywhere from the Mediterranean to French Polynesia to destinations closer to home such as the Panama Canal, Caribbean and Alaska. Aboard ship, you give several one-hour presentations during a week-long cruise about the region where the ship is sailing, focusing on its history, culture, etc. In exchange for these services and a small placement fee, the Lecturer and one guest receives a free cruise, sailing in a passenger stateroom with all the amenities of the ship. Sixth Star Entertainment currently has more than 50 Fulbright scholars on their roster, and they are seeking more. It's a tremendous opportunity for expert speakers to enjoy a working vacation. For more information and to apply, contact Lynda at (954) 462-6760 ext. 222 or visit www.SixthStar.com. Sixth Star is an institutional member of FAST.
