Make plane reservations and pay for the Fulbrighter’s travel from their Fulbright host institution in the U.S. to Manhattan.
Travel should be by the least expensive economy air fare and will be covered by the President’s office.
If flight is not directly to/from K-State/U.S. host institution, identify the lowest cost airfare available on the selected dates (assume booking at least three weeks in advance).
Arrange for transportation to/from airport, in area, and for any appropriate off-campus travel or meetings, as necessary, during the Fulbrighter’s visit.
Make hotel reservations for Australian Fulbrighter.
President’s office will pay for up to three nights of lodging, unless otherwise agreed.
Arrange seminar and publicize through the usual channels.
Send seminar announcement to President, Provost, VP-Research, Director of International Programs Office, Dean and Associate Dean for Research, and John Leslie, in addition to normal circulation list.
Arrange for radio interview (Fulbrighter and host) with Eric Atkinson (agguy@k-state.edu) in Communications and Agricultural Education.
At least two weeks before the Fulbrighter’s visit, contact Anne Rubash (arubash@k-state.edu) in the Division of Communications and Marketing to arrange for a press release and for brief article in K-State Today.
Anne would be happy to receive photographs of interactions with faculty, staff and students.
Make appointments for the K-State host and the Fulbrighter to visit with President, Provost, VP-Research, Director of the International Programs Office, appropriate College administrators, and John Leslie, if they are available.
Make request for meeting as far in advance as possible, preferably before the remainder of the Fulbrighter’s schedule is set.
Indicate that the guest is a Fulbrighter participating in the Oz-to-Oz program when making the request.
Pay for expenses for guest from department funds. Provide Shelly Broccolo (avery@k-state.edu) in the President’s office with a list of expenses (air fare, travel to/from airport, extensive local area/travel, hotel and per diem). She will arrange reimbursement of department funds from the President’s office.
Do not pay an honorarium. The Fulbright office in Australia is our partner in these visits and will pay each Fulbrighter for participating in the Oz-to-Oz program upon their return to Australia.
