Nazareth University Centennial Podcast

The Fulbright program was created by the US government in the aftermath of World War II and is dedicated to building mutual understanding between the people of the United States and people from other nations. Since 1955, Nazareth University has been engaged in sending students and faculty abroad to study, teach, and learn through the various Fulbright programs. In this episode, we speak with students and faculty about their preparation at Nazareth, their experience abroad, and how this experience shaped their lives.

In 2001, just days after the tragedy of 9/11 Nazareth University responded by sending 40 students and music department faculty to provide the gift of song to those grieving in the aftermath of the attacks on the World Trade Center.

This episode features interviews and readings from letters and recollections from participants of that experience.

In this episode we learn about the buildings of Nazareth University and the names behind the buildings!
