Dr. Scott Buchanan Invited to Finnish Embassy

The Fulbright Finland Foundation recently invited Dr. Scott Buchanan, Department chair of Government and Sociology, to a meeting to discuss ways that Fulbright Finland might become more involved in establishing working relationships with U.S. universities and colleges.

Science and Education Counselor Dr. Petri Koikkalainen and Cultural Counselor & Head of Cultural Affairs Suvi Järvelä-Hagström, both of the Embassy of Finland, hosted participants for an informal conversation over coffee and refreshments at the Embassy of Finland in Washington, D.C. Guests were also taken on a tour of the Embassy building, including its famous diplomatic sauna. The event was an opportunity to network and talk about potential collaboration opportunities.

Buchanan held the Fulbright Finland Bicentennial chair in American Studies at the University of Helsinki during the 2019-2020 academic year. The Bicentennial Chair is one of the most prestigious chairs in the Fulbright Distinguished Chair program.
