First contact

By mid December, I was pretty impatient to learn the status of my application. I was surprised when my first contact was from Maria Curie-Sklodoska Univ. (UMCS) in Lublin Poland, not from the Fulbright program itself. I was traveling and received an email asking if I would accept a position at UMCS. I responded that I would be delighted. When I returned home from my trip, there was the formal letter from CIES (Council for the International Exchange of Scholars) waiting for me with the official acceptance. Yes! The letter didn't say much more than congratulations and that additional information would be forthcoming. - Carolyn
