During closing ceremonies of the annual Fulbright Scholars Pre-Academic Program, participants shared aspects of their cultures with others in the 2007 class. Filiz Yesilkoy performed a dance of her native Turkey to the accompaniment of the baglama, an Eastern Mediterranean stringed instrument played here by Ozan Varli with the help of fellow Russian Andrey Sharapov. Coordinated by the graduate studies office, the three-week program helps the visitors become immersed in U.S. culture.
