Description
This Fulbright teaching award places U.S. scholars on lecturer teams at Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences in Finland. Scholars work closely with faculty to teach full courses or parts of courses, mentor undergraduate and graduate students, and support faculty, curriculum, or program development. Haaga-Helia emphasizes practical preparation for working life and collaboration with business and service sectors.

It is not an independent research fellowship. The exchange also promotes international understanding through educational relationships, public talks, mentoring, and engagement with the host community.
