Things were still a bit austere in Finland in those days. Finns experienced a small version of what they called a night frost with the Soviet Union, and lettuce during the winter was sold leaf by leaf. Fresh produce was hard to come by in the dead of a Helsinki winter. Yet for me professionally, and for our family personally, it was one of the happiest and most productive times of our lives. It was not easy to use libraries then in the Soviet Union, though I made one extended trip into St. Petersburg to give the first series of lectures on the then new who was a marvelous language teacher, enabled me to manage enough Finnish while I was there to read such works as The Seven Brothers, whom I could never quite relate to, and Väinö Linna s Here Under the Northern Star. I always wondered why he didn t get a Nobel Prize. I loved shopping for books on the way back from the library and then walking on to our apartment on Runeberginkatu. I enjoyed regular saunas, warm human associations with Finns, and a particularly memorable trip to Kuopio up north which has the special beauty of a very different type of 19 th century wooden town. The beautifully displayed treasures of the Valamo monastery of the Finnish Orthodox Church were far more attractive and reverently displayed Harvard-Leningrad exchange than comparable treasures in the program. The Helsinki Library had been a deposit library for the Russian Empire from It was beautifully serviced and maintained with Scandinavian efficiency. I was thrilled to find that the basic organization of the stacks was by decade throughout the 19 th and early 20 th centuries, and I was permitted to work in the stacks. As a result, I was able to read the original versions of Russian literary and historical writings and periodicals and then read the response and criticism of them in subsequent journals of the same year. This permitted an immersion in Russian literature of a kind that few scholars are able to have. This opportunity enabled me to focus on transforming a course I was giving at Harvard into probably my most important single scholarly work; The Icon Soviet Union. Central to the experience was the wonderful series of events for me and my wife that made dark evenings shine thanks to a magnificently ordered Fulbright program in Finland under Sven Sjögren. I have since returned regularly and always happily to Finland to keep up with old friends and to hear the glorious music under the midnight sun at Savonlinna. Later, as a member of the Board of Foreign Scholarships that runs the Fulbright program world-wide and as its chairman in the early 1970s, I always held up the Finnish Fulbright program as a model for what an exchange program should be. Every time I return to the National Library overlooking the beautiful square, it will always be for me a kind of homecoming. and the Axe: An Interpretive History of Russian Culture. I became fascinated with Finland as a total society. Having our very young kids run along free outside with their park aunt during the week was a thrill for them. My wife and I enjoyed seeing them both having fun and not having a single cold or adverse effect from the harsh winter weather.

Each fall, the Fulbright Center organizes a three-day orientation to provide the grantees with information sessions on Finnish education, culture and society as well as an opportunity to network with professionals and organizations involved in Finnish-American exchanges. Information sessions offered advice on living in Finland, details about the higher education system, and other aspects of setting up life as a student, researcher, or lecturer in Finland. Plenty of time was allowed for more informal chatting with the numerous specialists who joined the program and with each other. Grantees were honored at an evening reception held at the U.S. Ambassador s Residence, and were feted at the Sibelius Academy with a special private piano concert and cordial welcome by the ASLA-Fulbright alumni buddies. They enjoyed a city tour of Helsinki, provided with a visit to the Ateneum including a slide-lecture on the history of Finland as seen through Art. On the third day the grantees were invited to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for introductions to the Finnish Business world, Finnish communication patterns and language. This was the first group of American grantees arriving in Finland for this academic year. Altogether there will be nearly 40 American grantees in Finland this year.

9 Ready, set, go Suomi! Before returning to graduate school, I had been a librarian manager and studied oral traditions of numerous cultures. I had looked forward to my second trip to Europe and my first time living outside of my country. Modern technology makes it possible to connect with people from other cultures. Yet, living with others makes it possible to become even more familiar with our similarities and differences. I study how people, specifically emerging leaders, talk to share information. Do they ever talk in ways that effectively document information? I will study this idea of an oral document while being affiliated with the Department of Information Studies, University of Tampere. My findings will support new approaches to orally based information in matters of security, intellectual property, cultural heritage and leadership skill development. I prepared for my Fulbright year in practical ways. Items that I assembled fell into three categories: research project tools, surviving winter, and creature comforts. Observing and interviewing professionals required a good deal of technical equipment, while creature comforts remained few. I anticipated finding new ones once I had settled. I frequently visited the library in support of learning to speak very basic Finnish. Becoming oriented is no small task, especially to a place as interesting and diverse as Finland. FC staff assisted us in every sense of the word orient. They helped us become familiar with the current state of Finnish academic, demographic, economic, and international affairs. They helped us get our bearings by leading walks and tram rides to the various Orientation sites. And, they helped us adjust to what it means to be a Fulbright Fellow having access to FC resources, meeting Fulbright alum including our personally assigned buddy, and maintaining Fulbright/life balance. Meaning, we may on occasion need to say no to some of the endless opportunities now before us. My favorite Orientation moment? That s a hard question. Maybe it was an informal, lunch conversation about cultural differences or maybe my surprise to learn that ATM and even charge cards have given way to electronic banking then again, it may have been being in one of the first tour buses to reach the Rock Church shortly after it opened. Living and conducting research in Finland has already been a life and a career changing opportunity. With the Orientation behind me, I have a sense of the national Finnish values of discovery and foresight. FC staff organized a fruitful launch pad from which I am now able to discover the richness of Finland and plan for the experiences I have been enabled to create. Deborah Turner Fulbright-CIMO Graduate Student Grantee University of Tampere Seminar on Finnish-North American University Cooperation: Curriculum Development and Joint Programs The Fulbright Center and Center for International Mobility, CIMO are jointly organizing a seminar on Finnish-North American academic cooperation. The seminar focuses on curriculum development cooperation and joint/dual degree programs as means to enhance cooperation and academic mobility between Finnish and North American higher education institutions. The seminar will highlight existing projects and networks as well as provide information on funding measures. The seminar is held in Helsinki Fulbright Center ja Kansainvälisen henkilövaihdon keskus CIMO järjestävät Helsingissä asiantuntijaseminaarin edistääkseen yhteistyötä suomalaisten ja pohjoisamerikkalaisten korkeakoulujen välillä. Seminaarin teema liittyy opetussuunnitelmayhteistyöhön sekä yhteis/kaksoistutkintojärjestelyiden ja liikkuvuuden edistämiseen korkeakoulujen välillä. Tavoitteena on laadukkaan koulutusyhteistyön ja liikkuvuuden lisääminen. Seminaarissa kerrotaan koulutusyhteistyöstä, annetaan esimerkkejä toimivista yhteistyöprojekteista ja -verkostoista sekä tietoa rahoituslähteistä.

10 Introducing Fulbright Center s University Partners Focus on University of Turku The university focus series introduces the Fulbright Center s partners. Earlier articles in the series highlighted the University of Kuopio (2/2006) and University of Helsinki (1/2007). A formal cooperation agreement exists between the Fulbright Center and each of these universities. The University of Turku has been very active recently on the Finnish-American mobility scene: a new grant agreement with the Fulbright Center will support American graduate students to study at the university; the BALANCE project seminar introduced the Bologna process to U.S. academics; the International Summer School was held for the third year at Turku University, with one of the American Fulbright grantees participating; the Fulbright FLTA Program includes a Turku University student who is now teaching Finnish language and culture at Berkeley, just to name some examples. New Grant for U.S. Graduate Students The University of Turku and the Fulbright Center have signed an agreement creating a new grant for U.S. graduate students. The Fulbright-University of Turku Graduate Award is jointly funded by the University of Turku and the Fulbright Center. The 9-month award is 1,000 EUR/per month. Added to this, the Fulbright Center provides a travel grant, program services, obligatory insurance relating to the program, and the opportunity to participate in different Fulbright events in Finland and in Europe. In addition, the Center funds the grantee s participation in the University of Turku s International Summer School held in August. In the United States, the application deadline is in October for studies in Finland beginning the following autumn semester.

Vahvan Fulbright-verkoston kautta voimme markkinoida Turun yliopistoa laajasti mutta samalla kohdennetusti Pohjois-Amerikan laajoilla koulutusmarkkinoilla", iloitsee kv. asioiden päällikkö Irinja Paakkanen. Amerikkalaiset opiskelijat voivat anoa stipendiä yhden lukuvuoden opiskeluun Suomessa. Turun yliopisto rahoittaa vuosittain vähintään yhden stipendin. The Executive Director of the Fulbright Center Terhi Mölsä (left), Vice-Rector Erno Lehtinen and the Head of International Affairs Irinja Paakkanen signed the agreement in June in Turku during the Erasmus Mundus BALANCE seminar coordinated by Coimbra Group. Photo: Kirsi Korpela Stipendi myönnetään yhteistyössä Fulbright Centerin kanssa ja se voidaan kohdentaa Turun yliopiston priorisoimille hakijaryhmille. Painopistealueet määritellään vuosittain. Tarkoituksena on tarjota stipendiä myös osarahoitteisena vastaanottavan laitoksen tai projektin kanssa. Stipendijärjestelmä sopii myös nuorten vastaväitelleiden tutkijoiden rekrytoimiseen, sillä jatko-opiskelija, joka ennen haun päättymistä Yhdysvalloissa ei vielä ole suorittanut tohtorintutkintoaan, on kelpoinen hakija. Lisätietoja: mobility/fulbright.html Text: University of Turku Getting to Know Finland through the International Summer School The third International Summer School introducing Finnish language and culture was organized at the University of Turku, and included participants from seven different countries. The four-week, fee-based program, is organized every August, and applications are open to university students, scholars and university staff. Coordinator Liisa Aho says that the common element amongst the Summer School students is an interest in Finnish language, culture and history. Each student may combine a suitable study package from the offered modules of Finnish language, culture, history, religion, and the traditions of Finnish society. Summer School studies accrue a total of ten credits in the ECTS system. Examinations are held at the end of August. The social program plays an important role for Summer School participants. Such activities as visits to Turku Castle, the Turku Provincial museum, Turku Cathedral, as well as excursions to Naantali and Ruissalo have been popular. The group has also watched Finnish movies together and baked traditional goodies such as pulla (sweet bun) and karjalanpiirakka (Karelian pastry). Assisting students to manage everyday matters in Finland are the tutors, who are University of Turku students. In addition to the tutors, there are two interns assisting Summer School students and staff with the program. Students at the Faculty of Humanities may apply for the intern positions.

11 North American Guests Learn More about European Higher Education The third guest seminar within the Erasmus Mundus BALANCE project, coordinated by the Coimbra Group, was held at the University of Turku in June. The objective of the project is to enhance the knowledgebase in the United States and Canada of the Bologna Process and its aim to create a common European Higher Education Area. The three-day seminar was hosted by the International Affairs unit at the University of Turku. There were approximately forty guests from the United States, Canada, and the European Coimbra Group member countries. The seminar was chaired by the director Inge Knudsen (Coimbra Group Office) who was pleased with the excellent seminar and all its arrangements. Through active discussions, the participants got new information and perspectives. Some matters are now clearer, but additional discussions on the details and interpretations relating to the European higher education reforms are still needed, Head of International Affairs Irinja Paakkanen summarises the seminar. Thus, the Coimbra Group will organize four additional similar BALANCE seminars, the next in Graz in October and two seminars to be held in North America in Professor Carol B. Lynch from Western Washington University in the USA confessed that the seminar was the first time she was introduced to Finland and the Bologna Process. Lynch said that the seminar helped her understand the importance of international cooperation and mobility. She mentioned that as soon as she arrived home, she would be in contact with the International Office of her own university, where together they would determine the suitable forms, channels and partners for international cooperation in her own program. Further information: www. coimbra-group.eu/balance Text: University of Turku Vice Rector Craig Klafter (University of British Columbia, Canada) was especially interested in the Finnish education system and saw a good starting point for bench-marking: Finland and Canada are similar not only in respect to ice hockey and forests, but also in free education, bilingualism and location next to a great and powerful neighbor. Photos: Kirsi Korpela Despite an intensive official and social program, jet lag did not seem to slow down the guests at the BALANCE seminar. Participation was active and the guests remained smiling. Getting inside Finnish culture Bernadette Baker, Doctor of Education, was one of the ten students at the International Summer School this year. Baker, who comes from Australia, has lived and worked in the United States for the past fifteen years. This autumn she is a Fulbright lecturer at the University of Tampere; however, in the spring semester she will be returning to the University of Turku to take up her permanent position as professor in the Faculty of Education. Professor Baker says that the Fulbright advisors recommended the University of Turku Summer School, about which she has only good things to say. She enjoyed all of the courses as well as the social program, and she praises Finnish food. She continues, saying the Summer School is organized quite well, and everything has been carefully thought out, also from a pedagogical point of view. Professor Baker sees as an important strength the fact that people of various ages and from different countries and fields participate in the Summer School. She has really enjoyed living in another culture. People have been very nice and patient. Professor Baker recommends the Summer School to everyone coming to Finland. According to her, this is because the course provides a deeper and broader framework to understand Finnish culture and history than one can acquire through books alone. Finally, what is the most important thing Professor Baker has gained from the Summer School? She emphasizes, since every country has a different relationship to its past, to understand how history affects the way people think and how they feel.

As the Rector of Finland s second largest university, he will guide his University and its staff through the remarkable changes that shape the Finnish higher education sector in the near future. Legislation regulating Finnish universities will change in 2010, giving higher education institutions more independence, for example in fundraising and in financing their operations. In 2010 the University of Turku will also merge with its smaller neighbor university, the Turku School of Economics, says Rector Virtanen. He sees a lot of potential in this merger: The University of Turku will strenghten its position as a significant multidisciplinary research institution. The main focus areas of the new University will be internationally competitive research and education, extensive business competence and effective commercialization of innovations. Excellent Research Environment At the moment, the University of Turku is a research-led university with six faculties and ten special units. Biosciences, Mathematics, Astronomy and Space Research, Research of Learning and Education and of processes related to the interaction of culture and society are among the strategic strength areas of the University. Our expertise ranges from Humanities to Medicine and Natural Sciences. Multidisciplinarity will definitely remain one of our key strengths in the future as well, emphasizes Rector Virtanen. We encourage dialogue between different disciplines as well as cooperation between university research groups and the private sector. We believe the best new innovations are discovered in this way, Rector Virtanen emphasizes. Rector Keijo Virtanen warmly welcomes both Fulbright students and research fellows to the University of Turku. Our University offers an excellent research environment where multidisciplinary collaboration is enabled, among others, by nine Academy of Finland Centres of Excellence in Research, the Turku Centre for Biotechnology, the Turku PET Centre and the neighboring university Åbo Akademi University, Virtanen says. On the other hand, we are small enough to be able to offer a modern but cosy campus area where all the facilities and services are within easy reach. According to a recent survey among international degree students, it is the home-like atmosphere in addition to the well functioning student services that they would market about the University of Turku. Rector Virtanen himself has a very special relationship with the United States. As a researcher, he has served as a Research Assistant and a Fulbright Fellow at the Uni-

In his research, Professor Virtanen has focused for example on American immigration and ethnic history as well as on the American impact in Europe and Finland. He is also the Editor Photo:Robert Seger for Finland for the Journal of American History. I have precious memories from the States, and excellent contacts have remained for decades. I would like this to be the case with our American guests as well! Master s Degree Programmes Prioritize Quality In 2007, the University of Turku had over 1,000 international students from 78 different countries. Currently the majority of our international students are exchange students. In the future we want to increase the number of Master s degree and doctoral students, according to Vice Rector for Education, Professor Erno Lehtinen. At the moment, the University of Turku offers nine international Master s Degree Programmes out of which eight are taught in English. The Degree Programme in Finnish and Other Finno-Ugric Languages is taught in Finnish but aimed for non native speakers. All Master s programmes offered in English are multidisciplinary and include interesting themes such as Baltic Sea Region Studies, Asian Studies, Bioinformatics, Learning Environments and Digital Media. There is also a wide choice of additional courses available in English in fields such as Finnish-Nordic Society and Culture, Development Studies and European Studies. We constantly focus on the quality of the programmes we offer. Our goal is to maintain excellence in the programme structure and contents, as well as in the students accepted to the programmes, Lehtinen says. Several departments and faculties at the University of Turku have been nominated as high-quality education units by the national Higher Education Evaluation Council (HEEC). Currently this status is held by the Faculty of Law, Psychology and the School of Art. According to Vice Rector Lehtinen, Fulbright guests are familiar on the campus: Each October, the North American Studies program hosts a two-day seminar called American Voices which covers many different aspects of American society and culture. All American university teachers and graduate students who are visiting Finland through the Fulbright Program are invited to the seminar, says Lehtinen. Furthermore, the Fulbright Program plays an important role for our Department of English which annually co-hosts a Fulbright Scholar together with Åbo Akademi University. The University of Turku also coordinates 15 national Graduate Schools for doctoral studies nominated by the Finnish Ministry of Education. The Finnish Graduate School System is unique in the world. Young, talented doctoral students are hired for full-time research positions and are true members of research groups from the very beginning of their career, Vice Rector Lehtinen explains proudly. To promote the post-doc career of young scholars, we have also recently founded two multidisciplinary research collegia, Turku Institute for Advanced Studies (TIAS), which will promote cutting-edge research in the humanities and social sciences, and Turku Collegium for Science and Medicine. Photo:Ilmari Vakkala City of Science and Capital of Culture Turku, the oldest city in Finland and the country s former capital, is located on the South-West coast of Finland. The city has been a distributor of science and culture for the entire country since the Middle Ages. The first Finnish university, the Royal Academy of Finland, was established in Turku in 1640, bringing Turku into the family of old university cities on the continent. The University of Turku was established in 1920 as the first Finnish-language university in the country. Due to its long academic heritage, the University has been invited to join the Coimbra Group, formed by long-established, prestigious European research universities such as Cambridge, Oxford and Heidelberg. Built on seven hills surrounding the River Aura, Turku is today an attractive business and university city with a vivid cultural life. Within easy reach of the city is one of the most beautiful archipelagos of the world. The vitality and availability of local music, theatre, dance, visual arts and literature are further enhanced as Turku will proudly host the European Capital of Culture in Text: University of Turku 13

14 Alumni Thoughts and Memories about Being a Fulbrighter Fulbright alumni have many and diverse experiences during their grant time. But it s not unusual for certain themes to appear over and over as they describe their Fulbright lives. Finland Fulbrighters have kindly offered us a peek into their lives through their own Fulbright memories and observations. We have taken the editorial privilege to group these thoughts into common threads, but you can read their complete stories, some with photos, on the Fulbright Center website at: Finland as Poetry It is as though dawn and dusk had formed a conspiracy, shutting out the overhead light of daytime s prime, expropriating the shadowless glare of high noon, imposing between them a shared coalition of softer, darker shades of nuanced, shadowed light. - John LeBaron I wonder what it is like ten years later will it be recognizable to me? Will I find the site where I made my installation of willow? Will I remember where to step and where not to step in the mysterious mire landscape? - Cherie Sampson Life Changing Experience, for the Family as well My year as Fulbright Bicentennial Chair at the University of Helsinki Renvall Institute was a life changing event. The world seemed to reveal itself in its myriad ways to me and my family as we lived in Helsinki and traveled throughout Finland and northern Europe. - John Wunder Our experiences and friendships in Finland have enriched our lives beyond description. - Frances Karttunen I recently returned to Finland from Puerto Rico where I spent the academic year studying energy technology and life. - Antti Lehtomäki The Fulbright experience opened many doors for me and changed everything, perhaps more than anything. - Paul Ilsley Finnish & American Traditions & Values Alongside my research, I learned and experienced many intangible things during my Fulbright year. Notable examples include how to smoke fish, how -30 C feels, how to skate on frozen lakes, and how to behave in a Finnish sauna. - Dan Benesh We were invited to three juhannus celebrations, including one that included this lovely bonfire on the shore of a small lake near our friends' cottage north of Tampere where people danced and had a raffle for many prizes. We had gorgeous weather, went swimming, did the sauna, ate and drank and told good stories, and played the Finnish game Mölkky. - Cheryl J. Fish I know I ve lived in Finland because I now give myself the gift of a sauna after every gym work out. I never took a sauna at the gym before. - Joan Maynard My hosts were very generous, taking us to enjoy the day-long Mayday celebrations, the Procession of the Promotio outside of the Cathedral, and their Department s annual end-of-year pesäpallo game and dinner on Suomenlinna Island! - Ronald E. Rice I was very impressed by the fantastic creativity, the huge amount of positive energy, serious and hard work, the high level, the courage of making new, and the non-judgmental, respectful, loving relation between educators and students. - Grazyna Zeranska-Gebert

15 Creating Friendships On this visit, I particularly enjoyed seeing old friends, who have remained special over all these years, and just to have the chance to share a meal in their home reminded me of the depths of Finnish friendship. - Allan Winkler So the Fulbright experience got us connected to many aspects of Finland and the Finnish culture and it gave us a chance to meet people who have remained friends ever since. - Harley Johansen We had also stayed in touch with many friends and colleagues, but even with those whom we hadn t been in direct communication, it seemed we could take up immediately from where things had been left upon our previous visit. It was that rare but treasured sense that any time intervals were irrelevant to our continuing relationships. - Doug Maynard Highlight of Life In summary, I consider my Fulbright experiences among the highlights of my career, and a critical factor in refreshing my classroom teaching. - Henry Bullamore Our experiences and friendships in Finland have enriched our lives beyond description. - Frances Karttunen My Mid Career Professional Development Grant has afforded me the best time in my life. Concrete Professional Gains - Grazyna Zeranska- Gebert My Finnish experience has supported my ability to think out of the box and plan ideas to enhance the school day in America. - Julie Zenz Little did I know that my Fulbright experience would lead to an intense involvement with Finland and the Baltic region that continues to this day for my whole family? - Harley Johansen From the research perspective, the Fulbright experience was a highly productive period in terms of both hands-on research and proposal preparation. From the teaching side, it has been a satisfying experience to teach such mature and intelligent students. - John Pichtel Alumni Contributors Teija Aarnio, Rutgers, State University of New Jersey Antero Aarvala, Northwestern University Dan Benesh, University of Jyväskylä Henry Bullamore, 2000 University of Turku Cheryl J.

16 Opening a window to the past, here are two more stories from Finnish grantees, offering the long perspective. For full stories see Memories as an ASLA-Fulbright Grantee and the Effects on My Later Life ~ from My Diary Notes ~ On Tuesday, August 9, 1960 at 13.25, the airplane took off towards Copenhagen, carrying a group of grantees studying in the USA. The plane landed at Kastrup airport at local time. The connecting flight was marked at on a jet plane, thus for 4 hours we had a chance to familiarize ourselves with the Danish airport before crossing the Atlantic. But instead of moving into the airplane, we grantees were put on a local bus and were driven to a restaurant outside Copenhagen for dinner. The reason for this chain of events was, as we came to know, they had given our seats on the plane to some American tourists. Then after the dinner we were driven back to Kastrup airport where a propeller plane took off at 22.30, that is a 4.5 hours delay from the original schedule. We were at the destination the following day at 9.45 local time. The flight had taken 16 hours and 15 minutes, that included a 40 minute layover in Glasgow. You certainly felt having sat on an airplane that a jet plane would have taken only half the time. Northwestern University (Evanston, Illinois) was my study destination My majors were city planning and traffic and transportation When I returned from the US, I finished my studies at the Dept of Political Science, University of Helsinki, all the way to the Licentiate degree, apparently all these degrees led to my being chosen as the department head of the Ministry of Transportation beginning July 1, 1970 At school I studied English as a secondary foreign language and German as my major language, thus my English skills improved considerably while in the USA. Therefore at the Ministry I often had to participate in meetings and seminars that took place in foreign countries and had to prepare reports for the seminars On Sunday, August 26, 1961, at 11.30, a ship took off from New York to Copenhagen, landing on the 3rd of September. I slept overnight in Copenhagen and the journey continued on Monday by airplane to Helsinki where it landed at and so was the grantee s study period in the USA over. - Antero Aarvala Being a Fulbright Grantee Twenty Years Ago In August 1988 I traveled with two suitcases to the United States. I had just gotten married and my new husband was accompanying me. We arrived at JFK airport in New York, rented a car, and drove towards New Brunswick, New Jersey. At that time, I knew only that I will start my microbiology studies at Rutgers, State University of New Jersey. What began in turned out to be one of the most important periods in my life. I really enjoyed the U.S., and it became my second home country. The time spent there introduced me to an international world, and helped me acquire fluent English skills. I conducted research and studied with students from different countries and made lifelong friends from all over the world. This experience formed a crucial part of my present personality. I am forever thankful for the grant that I received because with that help I was able to make one of my dreams come true. Although in my work today I don t use the theoretical skills I developed in the U.S, still, the most important thing that happened to me as a Fulbrighter was the opening of my thinking and a broad-based understanding of different things I can utilize everyday in my life. - Teija Aarnio 16

17 from Turku to Berkeley FLTA -ohjelma lukuvuodelle The Finnish summer seems to just have started but already in three weeks I ll be under the California sun. It still seems a bit unreal to me and I definitely could not have imagined anything like this last year. A year ago I was in Turku, about to finish my studies of languages, intercultural issues, pedagogy, and a few other things. After all the years of active student life and mingling with the international students at our university, I felt a bit sad to be leaving all of that behind me. However, life seems to have a way of presenting us with unexpected possibilities. For some reason studying at Berkeley has always been a dream of mine, but I was never presented with a realistic possibility of doing that. In the autumn of 2007 however, I got an describing a Fulbright program for Foreign Language Teaching Assistants. Since I m planning to be a language teacher and have had many good experiences with American professors, I was immediately intrigued. I also still wanted to go abroad to get some more professional experience before finding a permanent job. Once I saw that Berkeley was among the possible destinations, I knew I had to apply. Although the departure still feels somewhat unreal to me, I am looking very much forward to my year at Berkeley. My instructor Sirpa Tuomainen seems to have plenty of things in store for me and I am bound to learn a lot. What I am especially excited about is that my duties are extremely varied, starting from organizing extracurricular activities for the students of Finnish to class room teaching and participating in research and development projects. Not to mention that I ll get to take courses at UC Berkeley myself and have them included in my degree from Turku. Moving from one country to another requires taking care of many practical things, both in the home country and in the new country which can sometimes get rather arduous. Luckily, this is not my first time to be going abroad so I knew what to expect, and with all the help we have had from the Fulbright Center in Finland, I must say everything has gone very smoothly. Also, having met all the FLTAs and other Fulbright scholars at the orientation day I don t feel too worried: I know there will be plenty of people all over the continent who find themselves in the same situation with me!

TOEFLiBT, Testiajat ja paikat: Testinjärjestäjä Suomessa: Premeria, TOEFL PBT, Testinjärjestäjä Suomessa: Suomi-Amerikka yhdistysten liitto, University of Cambridge ESOL examinations Testinjärjestäjä Suomessa: Finnish British Society Muutoksia testijärjestelyissä Suomessa suoritettavien TOEFL- ja GREtestien käytännön järjestelyt muuttuvat joulukuun puolivälissä Fulbright Center neuvoo jatkossa asiantuntijoita kieli- ja tasotestiasioissa kuten ennenkin, mutta testien järjestäminen siirtyy Fulbright Centeriltä testiorganisaatio Prometricille. Fulbright Centerin yhteydessä on yli kymmenen vuoden ajan toiminut Prometrictestikeskus, jossa on järjestetty amerikkalaisia akateemisia kieli- ja tasotestejä. Vuosien mittaan Prometricin kansainväliseen testiohjelmaan on tullut yhä enemmän erilaisia ammatillisia tai työpaikan hakuun liittyviä sertifiointitestejä, joilla ei ole yhteyttä korkeakoulutukseen, kansainväliseen vaihtoon tai korkeakoulujen pääsykokeissa käytettävään testaukseen. Näiden testien osuus on noussut jo yli puoleen Fulbright Centerissä järjestettävistä testeistä. Koska Prometricin kanssa tehty sopimus ei enää salli järjestää yksinomaan korkeakoulujen käyttämiä kieli- ja tasotestejä kuten TOEFLiBT ja GRE Fulbright Center ei voi enää toimia teknisenä testinjärjestäjänä. Muutkin eurooppalaiset Fulbright-komissiot ovat, muun muassa samasta syystä, joutuneet viime vuosina luopumaan testien järjestämisestä. Äskettäin testeistä luopui Kreikan Fulbright-komission testikeskus Ateenassa, ja nyt on Suomen Fulbright Center saman edessä. Koko Euroopan alueella on enää kolme Fulbrightkomissiota, jotka vielä toistaiseksi järjestävät testejä ja näidenkin osalta tilanne Testinjärjestäjät Suomessa ja yhteystiedot IELTS, Testinjärjestäjä Suomessa: Finnish British Society Testitiedustelut: puh.

Vaikka testikeskustoiminta päättyy, Fulbright Center jatkaa kuitenkin entiseen tapaan testeihin liittyvässä varsinaisessa tehtävässään, eli neuvoo edelleen asiantuntijoita kieli- ja tasotestiasioissa sekä selvittää opiskelijoille testitulosten merkitystä ja käyttöä amerikkalaisten yliopistojen sisäänotossa. Samoin Fulbright Center järjestää jatkossakin tarpeen mukaan joitakin korkeakoulujen sisäänotossa käytettäviä testejä, kuten Law School Admission Councilin LSAT-testi, sekä valvoo tarvittaessa amerikkalaisten yliopistojen etäopiskelijoiden tenttejä. Helsingissä TOEFL-testiä on jo pari vuotta järjestänyt Premeria (entinen MikroJussi), joka jatkaa TOEFL-testausta entiseen tapaan. Prometric vakuuttaa, että teknisistä vaihdoksista huolimatta opiskelijat pääsevät myös GRE-testiin Suomessa ilman katkoja. Prometric kertoo olevansa perustamassa Helsinkiin omaa testikeskusta, joka auttaisi myös ratkaisemaan testaus-tilanteen ajoittaiset tekniset ongelmat huomattavasti entistä nopeammin. Koska Fulbright Center ja muut testien paikalliset järjestäjät eivät pääse Prometricin tietojärjestelmään, akuutissa testaustilanteessa ilmenevät tekniset ongelmat on tähän saakka selvitetty Prometricin Hollannissa sijaitsevasta teknisen tuen yksiköstä. Opiskelija on saattanut teknisten vaikeuksien vuoksi joutua odottamaan pitkäänkin ennen kuin on päässyt suorittamaan testin. Fulbright Center on toistuvasti pyytänyt Prometricilta parannusta asiaan. Prometricin Vice President for Operations (Europe & Middle East) Andy Britton tutustui elokuussa Suomen testaustilanteeseen ja esitteli testausta koskevat uudet suunnitelmat. Fulbright Center Newsin mennessä painoon Prometric ei ollut vielä julkistanut tulevan uuden keskuksen yhteystietoja eikä toiminta-aikataulua. Suomen Prometric-testikeskusverkkoon liittyvät mahdolliset kysymykset kannattaa tässä vaiheessa osoittaa suoraan Andy Brittonille, andy.britton@ prometric.com, puh tai Educational Testing Service:n (ETS) osalta Suomea koskevista muutoksista on Fulbright Centerille puolestaan informoinut Eileen Tyson, etyson@ets.org. Tysonin mukaan uusi, sekä TOEFL- että GRE-testejä Suomessa jatkossa järjestävä testikeskus julkistetaan aivan lähiaikoina.

19 Canada Internationalization: A Force for Change at Canadian Universities In a 2007 study on trends in enrolment, the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada (AUCC) reported that the country s international student population had more than doubled over the last 10 years. Currently, Canadian universities attract more than 70,000 international students from over 200 countries in full-time study each year, with more than 22,000 in graduate studies. Today, more than nine out of 10 Canadian universities refer to the internationalization of teaching, research and service in their strategic planning. They readily acknowledge that providing students with international knowledge and intercultural skills is now an integral part of their institutional agenda. Internationalization has become a force for change at Canadian universities. In their bid to attract and retain international students, Canada s universities have seen their efforts supported by the federal government with the recent announcement of a prestigious graduate scholarship program, the development of a Canadawide education brand and a proposed new immigration category, the Canadian Experience Class. New Research and Scholarship Programs In order to compete in the global graduate recruitment market and to keep top talent in Canada, the federal government announced in September the launch of the Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship Program (Vanier CGS). Designed to promote the development of leading-edge knowl- edge, the program aims to attract candidates of the highest caliber in every academic field. When up to speed, the Vanier CGS Program will support 500 Canadian and international doctoral students each year with three-year scholarships each valued at up to $50,000 a year. A New Education Brand The federal Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade worked very closely with the provinces through the Council of Ministers of Education, Canada Secretariat to develop concepts for a new education brand: the Edu-Canada initiative. The Department of Foreign Affairs also consulted education-sector stakeholders including AUCC for their views. The goal of the Edu-Canada initiative is to better align a non-centralized education sector and interest more international students in attending Canadian educational institutions. This $2 million initiative is the largest federal government investment over two years in the international education sector since the creation of the Canadian Education Centre Network in the late 1990s. This initiative and the new Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship Program will help strengthen Canada s competitive edge and showcase its benefits internationally, said Pari Johnston, Director of International Relations at AUCC. New Immigration Policy Reforms Last August, the Government of Canada proposed a new immigration category, the Canadian Experience Class, which will of- fer foreign graduates of Canada s universities the chance to establish permanent residency in Canada without having to leave the country first. This past spring, the government also extended the Post-Graduation Work Permit Program from one year to three, allowing graduates to seek work outside their field of study and removing the requirement that eligible students must have a job offer on hand. AUCC has long advocated such reforms. These will help position Canada as a destination of choice for international students, added Pari Johnston. The recruitment of international students contributes more than $5 billion annually in economic benefits to Canada. Based on OECD forecasts, the global demand for international higher education (abroad or at off-shore campuses) is set to grow from 1.9 million students today to 7.2 million by A large part of this growth will occur in the Asia-Pacific region. While there has been recent progress on scholarships and immigration, much remains to be done to further advance the promotion of Canada s universities.

Mistä testitulokset? Selvitä hyvissä ajoin, tarvitsetko ulkomaanopintojasi varten standardoidun englannin kielen testituloksen. Jos olet lähdössä vaihtoon, tarkista ensimmäiseksi, onko suomalaisella oppilaitoksellasi ulkomaisen vaihtopartnerin kanssa sopimus, jonka perusteella sinun ei lainkaan tarvitse suorittaa englannin kielen testiä. Jos tarvitset testituloksen, selvitä seuraavaksi, mitkä testit ulkomainen oppilaitoksesi hyväksyy: TOEFL, IELTS, Cambridge Certificate vai jokin muu.

20 Recognizing Alumni Daniel Smeak to Receive an Honorary Doctorate Daniel Smeak, a 2003 Fulbright grantee to Finland, received an honorary doctorate degree from the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Helsinki in May. This award is the highest distinction the University can give and in the Conferment Ceremony the doctors gain the right to wear their academic regalia, the doctoral hat and sword. In this Photo: Ari Aalto way, the University honors distinguished scientists and persons who have acted in close cooperation with the Faculty. During his grant period, Dr. Smeak lectured at the faculty, having a substantial influence on the teachers, staff, and students of the clinical department with his unique approach to teaching, research, and veterinary hospital organization. Since his return to the U.S., his career has advanced to the position of Hospital Director, James L. Voss Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Colorado State University. Dr. Smeak generously cites the value of his Fulbright experience as follows: I must admit that the Fulbright position I held in Finland was a life changer and was largely responsible for my new promotion and direction in my career. Many thanks for allowing me that opportunity in Helsinki. Fulbright-kausi vei Gardbergin Turun musiikkijuhlien johtoon Carol A. Darling Honored Master of Arts Emilie Gardberg on nimitetty Turun musiikkijuhlien uudeksi toiminnanjohtajaksi. Gardberg opiskeli ASLA-Fulbright Graduate-stipendiaattina Columbia Universityssä ja valmistui taiteiden maisteriksi toukokuussa 2008 yliopiston Arts Administration -ohjelmasta. Opintojensa ohessa Emilie Gardberg työskenteli Metropolitan Operassa ja Jazz at Lincoln Centerissä. Taiteen tuottajalle Yhdysvallat ja varsinkin New York on todellinen mekka, monet laitokset osaavat markkinoinnin ja tilaisuuksien järjestelyn viimeisen päälle, toteaa Emilie Gardberg ja kertoo opiskelusta Columbian Arts Administration -ohjelmassa: Columbian Arts Administration -ohjelma kuuluu maailman arvostetuimpiin, ja opiskelijoilta vaaditaan etukäteen taiteen BA ja runsaasti työkokemusta. Kahden vuoden MA-tutkinnon aikana jokainen syventyy omien erikoisintressiensä opiskeluun, minun tapauksessani ne olivat johtajuus, human resources ja organisaatio-oppi sekä markkinointi ja asiakkaan tunteminen. Opiskelun myötä sain runsaasti uusia näkymiä ja ideoita taiteen tuottamiseen myös Suomessa ja niitä yritän nykyisessä työssäni hyödyntää. Lisäksi työskentely Metropolitan Operassa sekä Jazz at Lincoln Centerissä avarsivat entisestään näkemystäni amerikkalaisesta kulttuurimaailmasta. Fulbrighterina avautuu moni portti, sanoo Gardberg ja kertoo kokemuksistaan Fulbright-stipendiaattina: Alusta saakka asiantunteva Fulbright-ryhmä Suomessa opastaa opiskelupaikan valinnassa, lähtöön valmistautumisessa ja kontaktien solmimisessa. Paikan päällä Yhdysvalloissa saa jatkuvaa tukea Suomesta eri asioissa. Myös dokumentit, viisumit, vakuutukset jne. helpottuvat Fulbright-toimiston palveluiden ja ohjeiden myötä, Gardberg kiittelee. Perillä USA:ssa Fulbrighterit ympäri maailmaa kohtaavat eri tilaisuuksissa, joissa tapaa mielenkiintoisia ihmisiä ja verkostoituu kansainvälisesti. Fulbrightapuraha on USA:ssa varsin tunnettu ja se helpottaa työnhakua, itsensä esittelemistä, kontaktien luomista ja paikkoihin pääsyä. Mukavaa oli myös, että Fulbrighterit pitivät yhteyttä ja loivat tietynlaista turvaverkkoa toisilleen. Uusi toiminnanjohtaja toteaa Turun musiikkijuhlien työn olevan monella tapaa unelmien täyttymys: saan toimia kotikaupungissani Turussa juuri sen asian kanssa, josta olen eniten kiinnostunut. Musiikkijuhlat valmistautuu ensi vuonna juhlimaan viidettäkymmenettä juhlaansa 2005 Fulbright grantee to Finland, Carol A. Darling, will receive the Margaret Arcus Outstanding Family Life Educator Award in November The award is sponsored by the National Council on Family Relations. Dr. Darling s address will be based on research begun during her Fulbright experience working in collaboration with Dr. Kaija Turkki, Professor at the University of Helsinki s Faculty of Behavioural Sciences. Dr. Darling is the Margaret Sandels Professor of Human Sciences at Florida State University. Additional details about the award can be found at samalla kun valmistaudumme vuonna 2011 juhlistamaan Turkua eurooppalaisena kulttuuripääkaupunkia! Turussa on siis todellista potentiaalia kansainvälistymiseen, kasvuun ja innovaatioon kulttuurisektorilla! Musiikkijuhlien johdossa on vahva Fulbright-edustus. On hauskaa toimia toisen Fulbright-alumnin, musiikkijuhlien taiteellisen johtajan, sellotaiteilija Martti Rousin kanssa suunnitellessamme turkulaisen musiikkielämän tulevaisuutta Emilie Gardberg toteaa. 20
