Fulbright Greater Los Angeles continued its annual Fulbrighters Hosting Fulbrighters tradition with a Thanksgiving gathering in La Mirada, bringing alumni together for an afternoon of shared food, conversation, and connection. Each year, Fulbright alumni open their homes to fellow Fulbrighters who may be unable to return home for the holiday or who may be experiencing Thanksgiving for the first time.
This year’s Thanksgiving event was a resounding success, with a full house of 25 attendees. Participants included Fulbrighters from Pakistan and Egypt, alumni who served in Belgium and Bulgaria, and Fulbrighters with expertise spanning artificial intelligence and the humanities. As expected, discussion was robust, wide-ranging, and ceaseless for more than four hours, reflecting the intellectual curiosity and cross-cultural exchange that define the Fulbright community.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who joined us and helped make the gathering so meaningful. We look forward to continuing this tradition and welcoming Fulbrighters back for our spring edition next semester.
