TO BEGIN A NEW academic year, on September 9, 2022, the Fulbright Association Chicago Chapter invited alumni, members of the consular corps, the incoming Fulbright students and scholars along with members of WorldChicago and IIE (Institute of International Education) for the annual Fall Event Celebration of Fulbright that took place at the Sky Lounge of the 727 West Madison building in downtown Chicago.

The first event of the 2022 in September featured live music by Ed Burns.

The evening entailed a night of networking, light hors d’oeuvres overlooking a backdrop of the beautiful Chicago skyline where 100 attendees also enjoyed live music by Ed Burns, who performed and sang. It was an excellent opportunity to meet fellow Fulbrighters and members of the Chicago Chapter board, and interact with members of the Consular Corps who are eager to meet students and alumni from their respective countries. Upcoming events and initiatives of the Chicago Chapter were introduced throughout the evening.
