2:20 NZ Society - Fulbright New Zealand - Lisa Thompson
When you think on an overseas scholarship programme, it's easy to think more of the New Zealanders who travel, than of the students who come to New Zealand. But when it comes for the Fulbright Programme, in 65 years almost as many Americans have come here, as New Zealanders have travelled to the United States.
The majority of American Fulbrighters have immersed themselves in our culture.  Lisa Thompson looks at the impact that New Zealand has had on their lives.

Joshua Weisstein
United States graduate student Joshua Weisstein who came to New Zealand on a Fulbright Scholarship in 1950, and studied economics at Victoria University in Wellington.
