Many Fulbright alumni share Nan’s passion for promoting and protecting the program, but not many go through such great lengths – literally – to do it. To raise money and awareness for the Fulbright Association’s mission, Nan cycled coast-to-coast across America on a six-week journey. She met Fulbrighters and other friends of the program along the 3400-mile trip.

As the President of the Utah Chapter of the Association, Nan also is serious about giving back to the program from which she received so many priceless experiences. She has led the Chapter through a range of activities, from potlucks to hikes in Big Cottonwood Canyon.
