.@ECAatState's International Visitor Leadership Program strengthens the international expertise needed to secure critical digital infrastructure worldwide. IVLP alumna Yvonne Kivuti is part of that effort, helping drive cooperation that protects the undersea cables carrying 95% of global data.

Thank you to @UnderSecPD for the shout out to award winning glassblower Dale Chihuly and his new sculptures debuted in Venice - right where he conducted his Fulbright Fellowship.
American glass artist (and Fulbright alum!) Dale Chihuly debuted several new sculptures in Venice. His works are arresting and crowd-pleasing and sometimes resemble sea creatures. Chihuly was the first American to work at the famous Venini glass factory, and his installations fuse the delicacy of Venetian glasswork with American brashness/spectacle. People I met randomly on streets and in hotel lobbies remarked on them.
