The Institute’s workrr to develop global leaders, internationalize higher edudd cation, andrescue scholars encourages peace, prosperity and scientififf c progress around the world.The renowned Fulbright Program, whww ich IIE has the honor to administer on behalf of theU.S. Department of State, remains one of the most effff eff ctive and responsive componentsof U.S. pubu lic diplomacy,yy continuously expanding to serve new academic and communitypartners.

Advancing the Study of Strategically Important LanguagesThe Language Flagship, a National Security Education Program initiative, expanded itspartnership in 2009 with more than 30 U.S. and overseas institutions to integrate the studyof strategically important languages into the undergraduate curriculum. The goal is to produceU.S. professionals with superior proficiency in African languages, Arabic, Central Asian Turkiclanguages, Chinese, Hindi/Urdu, Korean, Persian, Russian and Eurasian languages. Theapproach includes rigorous language study, academic courses taught in the targeted lan-guage, a year overseas, and internships. Addressing the critical need to increase the numberof Americans who speak Chinese, The Language Flagship is partnering with nine universitiesand two public school systems to develop coordinated programs that will reach more than7,000 students.
Promoting Social Justice for the DisabledThe Ford Foundation International Fellowships Program convened 20 IFP alumni from China,India, Indonesia, the Philippines, Russia, Thailand and Vietnam to share experiences and discusshow people with disabilities address discrimination in their societies. Meeting in Vietnam, thealumni—who used their IFP Fellowships to earn advanced degrees in human development, dis-ability studies and assistive technology—discussed strategies for working with government, localcommunities, and national and international organizations to raise awareness of disability issues.
U.S. Fulbright Student Attends White House Iftar DinnerFarooq Mitha was invited to the White House for an Iftar dinner, which is the daily fast-breaking meal during the holy month of Ramadan.

Helping Innovative Universities Reach OutTo Talented StudentsIIE is using its global network to identify outstanding students inscience and technology from around the world to receive under-graduate and graduate scholarships to King Abdullah Universityof Science and Technology (KAUST), which celebrated its open-ing in September in Saudi Arabia.
In 2009, IIE assisted New York University in offering scholarshipsto students from around the world who will form the first enteringclass of NYU Abu Dhabi, a new global campus of NYU that isbringing world-class liberal arts education to the Middle East.
Preparing Fulbright Women for Leadership in AfricaIn cooperation with a committee of community leaders in New Mexico, IIE organized a re-entry workshop inAlbuquerque for Fulbright women from 20 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. The sessions focused on applyingtheir U.S. training and new skills to the professional and personal situations the women will encounter when theyreturn home. Several African-American families participated in the workshop, and an interview with participantswas broadcast on a weekly radio program sponsored by the New Mexico Office of African-American Affairs.
Internationalizing Science and Technology EducationTo enable U.S. undergraduates majoring in science, technology, engineering or math (STEM) togain international experience, the Gilman Scholarship Program has expanded to offer 125 newscholarships of up to $5,000 for students in these fields to study abroad during the summer. Sincemost community college students can only study abroad in summer, this new option will increasethe number of such students eligible for Gilman Scholarships. Other IIE programs to promote inter-national exchanges in STEM fields include the Global Engineering Education Exchange (Global E3)and the Whitaker International Fellows and Scholars Program in biomedical engineering.
New Century Scholars Link Campus and Community InnovationThe Fulbright New Century Scholars program is bringing 35 scholars from 24 countries togetherto collaborate during 2009-2010 on the theme of The University as Innovation Driver andKnowledge Center. The scholars are sharing models for best practices among universities tomove ideas from the lab to the market, address the needs of local communities, and invest ininitiatives that build social capital and advance economic development.
Fulbright Fellow Nominated for OscarA Fulbright Fellowship helped open doors in Mexico for Rebecca Cammisa, enabling herto make the feature documentary Which Way Home, which follows unaccompanied childmigrants in their quest to come to the United States.

IIE and its Council for InternationalExchange of Scholars (CIES) have been proud partners in the Fulbright Program since its start in 1946.
Fulbright Scholar Program Drives Campus Internationalization
From community colleges to liberal arts colleges to research universities, administrators continued to makeinternationalizing their campuses a top priority. The Fulbright Scholar Program is a vital resource. In 2009,the Scholar Program sent more than 850 U.S. faculty abroad, and 850 scholars visited the United States toteach, conduct research and become more familiar with the diversity of U.S. higher education. An additional400 U.S. scholars helped launch new programs, train faculty and build educational capacity abroad. TheScholar Program’s “multiplier effect” infused cross-cultural perspectives into existing curricula, revitalizedteaching methods, encouraged study abroad, and opened doors for scholars to teach in new places. On U.S.campuses alone, returned Fulbright scholars taught an estimated 76,000 students.
The year 2009 marked a new application record for U.S. scholars and saw several firsts. Grants to Indiaalmost doubled; a new program opened opportunities for Iraqi scholars; U.S. scholars helped reform thecurriculum at Hong Kong universities; Sweden welcomed its first Distinguished Chair in Alternative EnergyTechnology; and 35 scholars from 24 countries collaborated to help universities find innovative solutions topressing social and economic problems.

IIEfacilitated intensive English training for many Fulbright candidates to ease theirtransition to U.S. graduate study.
IIE’s close and critical partnership with U.S. colleges and universities ensured maximumtuition and other financial aid awards for incoming Fulbright students, even at a time offiscal hardship for U.S. higher education. The placement of students at a wide varietyof institutions in every U.S. state is further testament to the long-term campus impactof Fulbright students.

IIE’s Scholar Rescue Fund would like to thank the law firm of Akin GumpStrauss Hauer and Feld and in particular partner Steven H. Schulman forproviding extensive pro-bono legal services to assist threatened scholars whoare part of the SRF program.
The Institute is grateful to the many donors who enable the Scholar
Rescue Fund to save the lives, voices and ideas of persecuted
scholars around the world. Through generous donor support, the
Scholar Rescue Fund not only provides grants for threatened
scholars to pursue their scholarship in freedom and safety but also
builds endowments so that scholar rescue remains a permanent
part of the Institute’s mission into the future.

62 Nobel LaureatesIn 2009, IIE was proud to add two more names to its list of Nobel Laureates. OliverWilliamson, a Fulbright Scholar to Italy in 1999, received the Nobel Prize in Economicsand Charles K. Kao, an IIE-programmed Distinguished Visiting Lecturer from HongKong, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics.
This brings to 39 the number of Nobel Prize winning alumni of the Fulbright Program(which the Institute has been privileged to administer for the U.S. Department of Statesince the program’s inception in 1946), along with 16 other IIE administered granteesand 7 of the Institute’s Trustees and advisers. In total, 32 have won in the sciences,17 in economics, 4 in literature and 9 for peace—a glowing achievement in which wetake exceptional pride.
There can be no more powerful testimony to the unique value of international educationand exchange programs than the accomplishments of these Nobel Laureates, hailingfrom so many different nations, whose early promise was recognized and supportedby the Fulbright Program and IIE. These greatly gifted men and women—and the nextgeneration of international exchange students the Institute is currently identifying—aretruly the hope of the world, working to serve humankind by conquering disease,advancing world peace, reducing global poverty, preserving the environment andcreating a more just and prosperous global society.
