Intensive English Programs is pleased to announce that they have been
selected to host 35 Fulbright scholars this summer. Monterey Institute is
one of the sites chosen to hold pre-academic orientation for newly arrived
Fulbrighters. The program is designed to cover an orientation to the U.S.
academic system, English language training and field-of-study preparation.
The program is also aimed at building a basic understanding of current
issues in U.S. society and a solid foundation of U.S. social values, both
of which are necessary for successful intercultural communication in the
scholars’ host communities. The scholars will represent a wide variety of
fields of study and cultural backgrounds and will be on campus from July
20 – August 7, 2009. If you are interested in learning more about this
program, please contact the program coordinator, Katherine Braun at
