Burlington, VT

The U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, in coordination with the Vermont Council on World Affairs, and IIE’s Council for International Exchange of Scholars, will host a Fulbright Enrichment Seminar in Burlington, VT, for approximately 65 Fulbright Visiting Scholars from more than 35 countries.

Vermont has long been recognized as a leader in socially-responsible businesses that embrace a triple bottom line ("people, planet, profit"), and include social and environmental performance in addition to the financial.  Seminar participants will explore the concept of "Social Entrepreneurship: Doing Well by Doing Good," and how a company’s social impact can and should be measured.  Fulbright Visiting Scholars will also donate their time and skills to assist a variety of local organizations through community service projects.

The four-day seminar will feature keynote speakers, panel discussions, dinners with local Burlington-area families, and visits to key sites in Vermont.  For more information, visit the Fulbright Scholar Blog.
