Fulbright Commission in Jordan celebrates 30 years of educational, cultural exchange – Roya News English

In commemoration of its 30th anniversary, the Jordanian American Commission for Educational Exchange (JACEE) hosted a reception, on Thursday, with His Royal Highness Prince El Hassan bin Talal as keynote speaker.

Prince El Hassan praised the history of Fulbright in Jordan, noting that Fulbright embodies the principle of transcendence of identities, cultures, faiths, and religions, and lines of thought across boundaries, and towards a plurality of respect.

"These are the values and practices that Fulbright scholars are revered for, and it is precisely what we intended when we opened the ‘Fulbright House’ in Amman on December 8, 1994," His Royal Highness said at the reception, also attended by U.S. Ambassador to Jordan Henry T. Wooster and U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Educational and Cultural Affairs Lee Satterfield.
