Five Fulbright Foreign Students Join 2014 Millennial Trains Project

Five Fulbright Foreign Students will join twenty young American social entrepreneurs on the 2014 Millennial Trains Project. This cross-country train journey kicks off tomorrow, leaving Portland, OR and arriving in New York, NY on August 18th. The participants will pursue individual projects ranging from urban planning and sustainability to small business culture and food security. Everywhere the train stops, participants will connect with local leaders and experts, conduct research, and have the opportunity to explore their projects in the contexts of diverse U.S. cities. 

The Fulbright Foreign Students represent Colombia, Indonesia, Pakistan, Russia and Yemen and are studying at universities across the U.S. as part of the Fulbright Foreign Student Program, which IIE administers on behalf of the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.
