The glittering evening\u00a0\u00a0 event welcomed 75 visiting Fulbright Scholars from 41 countries in town for the Tampa Bay area\u2019s first Fulbright Enrichment Seminar.\u00a0The seminar, sponsored by World Partnerships, Inc., focused on climate change and the plight of the oceans.\u00a0Relaxing after sessions and screenings at the Blue Ocean Film Festival and Conservation Summit, Fulbright scholars networked with SPC faculty, staff, and a member of the Board of Trustees while enjoying the music of SPC\u2019s MIRA students. Ramona Kirsch, SPC Director of the Center for International Programs, welcomed the attendees, and Dr. Kevin Gordon, SPC Provost Downtown\/Midtown, told the Palladium\u2019s storied history and promoted St. Petersburg College. The soir\u00e9e strengthened the already firm bond between SPC and the Fulbright Program, and we hope to continue adding SPC alumni and faculty names to the prestigious list of Fulbright Scholars.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/media\/set\/?set=a.946531642042048.1073741894.406362779392273&amp;type=1\">Click here to view the event\u2019s photo gallery<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.spcollege.edu\/international\">Click here for information on SPC\u2019s Center for International Programs, including upcoming International Education Week<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/us.fulbrightonline.org\/about\">Click here to learn about the Fulbright Program<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.worldpartnerships.org\/fulbright.html\">Click here for details on the Tampa Bay Fulbright Enrichment Seminar<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>St. Petersburg College was honored to host its very first Fulbright soir\u00e9e at the beautiful Palladium Theater on November 6, 2014.
