Alumni get-together in D.C.

The Foundation organizes alumni events or get-togethers every time a team member visits the U.S.

In May 2023, Friends of Fulbright Finland were hosted by Science and Education Counselor Petri Koikkalainen and Cultural Counselor and Head of Cultural Affairs Suvi JärveläHagström for a conversation over coffee at the Embassy of Finland in Washington, D.C.

The event brought together alumni from multiple grant years and programs, and provided an opportunity to deliberate on best practices and how to iterate improvements as well as to talk about new collaboration opportunities.

The alumni get-together included a tour of the Embassy premises, including the famous diplomatic sauna.
