Finnish Fulbright Welcome Network

Our alumni in the U.S. are eager to connect with you, so feel free to take advantage of this wonderful networking opportunity. Members of the Welcome Network have all volunteered to help, and look forward to meeting you. You may even get to experience Thanksgiving, Halloween, or other American traditions or holidays with them. Remember that they are also a great source of information in many practical matters already before traveling to the U.S. An updated Welcome Network list is included in this Dropbox folder (you will get the password to the folder from your own program coordinator if you have not received it already). Please remember that the list is for your personal use only and not for wider distribution.
