DLSU-D officially welcomed 19 Fulbright scholars from the United States and three administrators from the University of Hawaii as part of its International Cultural Exchange Program from June 9 to July 6.

According to Linkages Director Dr. Christian George Franciso, the scholars come from different schools and colleges in the United States and are fully funded by Fulbright to study Philippine Studies, which covers Filipino language and Filipino culture.

The program also includes lectures on the Philippine economy, spirituality, governance, and society.

During the weekends, the scholars will be taken to different places for cultural immersion, including Rizal Park, the Aguinaldo Shrine, and Villa Escudero. They will also be exposed to local cuisines during their immersion.
