Congratulations to Ágnes Téglási (’85 Kent State University) and Csaba Békés (’06 New York University) for receiving the Order of Merit of Hungary, Knight’s Cross on the occasion of the Hungarian national day.

Annamária Sas, U.S. Program Officer participated in the Teacher Exchange Program Orientation in Washington, DC and met with Tom Healy, Chairman of the J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board and Embassy of Hungary diplomats.

Besides meeting with current U.S. and Hungarian grantees, she also visited 3 Fulbright alumni: Ryan Smith (’12 ELTE Apáczai Csere János High School and Teacher Training Center, Budapest); Chris Jones (’11 Budapest University of Technology and Economics), currently Rice University Fellow at the Executive Office of the President, Office of Science & Technology Policy and Eric Lopez (’08 Central European University, Budapest) and his fiancée.

New book by Lynn Hooker (’95 & ’11 Hungarian Academy of Sciences): meticulously researched and elegantly written, Redefining Hungarian Music from Liszt to Bartók is essential reading not only for musicologists.
