Fulbright Graduation 2026

On September 18, Katarzyna Stradomska, Vice President of the Alumni Association, had the pleasure of congratulating this year’s Polish Fulbright grantees on wrapping up the 2025–2026 program – and of officially welcoming them into the Alumni Association family.

The Polish-U.S. Fulbright Commission’s Graduation Ceremony was brimming with joy and optimism. As U.S. Ambassador to Poland Tom Rose put it: “Coming back from a Fulbright is just the beginning.” That idea has always been at the heart of our Association’s mission, too. We want to keep the American adventure going by building a community of curious minds who are eager to take on new projects, ideas, and challenges.

The celebration got an extra sparkle thanks to a moving performance by Malwina Marciniak, a 2025–2026 Fulbright Senior Award grantee. Afterward, things loosened up a bit, with time for a shared lunch, plenty of laughter, and swapping stories from everyone’s time in the States. It was truly a day to remember.

Once again, heartfelt congratulations to all of our new Fulbright alumni!
