The Western Michigan University Fulbright alumni community extends back to 1952, when Professor Chester L. Hunt of the Department of Sociology traveled to the Philippines as a Fulbright Scholar. The University sent out its first student on a Fulbright award in 1949, welcomed its first incoming Fulbright Scholar in 1981 and the first incoming Fulbright Fellow in 1999. The University encourages all Fulbright alumni to stay engaged via resources offered on this Web page.
