US Assistant Secretary of State for Educational and Cultural Affairs Lee Satterfield traveled May 17-20, 2023 to Amman, Irbid and Umm Qais, where she highlighted a broad range of US public diplomacy programs that help create access to economic and educational opportunities for Jordanians.

As the centerpiece of her visit, Assistant Secretary Satterfield delivered remarks at the celebration of the 30th anniversary of the Jordanian-American Commission for Educational Exchange (JACEE), also known as the Jordan Fulbright Commission, underscoring the importance of Fulbright programs in Jordan and globally. Since the Jordan Fulbright Commission was launched in May 1993 more than 1,500 students, scholars, and teachers from both the United States and Jordan have participated in the Fulbright Program. Satterfield thanked the Government of Jordan for increasing its financial support to the Commission, enabling more Jordanians to participate in this prestigious program.
