[News] US Fulbright scholars visit Cardiff University



Last week the University welcomed forty of the US' most prestigious scholars as part of the Fulbright Forum.

The Forum is an annual cultural immersion programme for American Fulbright Scholars currently studying, researching and lecturing in the UK.

As part of the event the students were immersed in the research of some of the University's most prestigious academics - including that of University president and Nobel Prize winner Professor Sir Martin Evans.

The Scholars also visited Cardiff Castle, the Wales Millennium Centre and the seat of Welsh Government - the National Assembly for Wales.

They finished their visit with a traditional Welsh 'Twmpath' - a folk dance with a backing band.
