“I grew up in a two-bedroom apartment in Dhaka. My father was the only earner in our family,
but he did something that shaped everything that came after: he kept bringing home books.
Fiction, nonfiction, whatever he could find as he wanted us to read. We didn’t have cable in
our TV. There was no internet. For most of my childhood, a radio was our only real window to
the world beyond our neighborhood.” (Read the rest of Iftekhar's story at the link in the bio)

"My Fulbright experience gave me a deeper understanding of how academic work and real life implementations are needed to create sustainable change and the difficulties in achieving this. While I am not working in my field as I had imagined during my degree and Fulbright experience; I am looking forward to being a part of the sustainable tourism industry as it develops and grows with destination management organizations. The field may have set backs in the US but I’m passionate about its grass roots growth!

If I could do anything differently in the application process, it would have been to start earlier. In the application process I never thought that my research project and community work idea would be one Fulbright was interested in compared to all the hard sciences. I wish I had known, or really understood, that even if someone doesn’t find value in your proposal, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have value to your field or to the world at large. I was the fourth ever travel and tourism project to receive Fulbright grant money in their history! There are professors, staff, researchers who will support you in this!"

Which Fulbright program did you do?

"Fulbright U.S. Student Program | Project Title: Sub-Antarctic Community Empowerment and Pro-Environmental Behaviors through Social Media | Partner Institutions: University of Magallanes and Cape Horn International Center - My incredible Fulbright experience is because our partner institutions in Chile!"

What is a resource on campus that students might not know about that was helpful?

"My biggest resources in the application process a during my Fulbright were my department advisors at UNT, the Global Engagement Office, and our Study Abroad Office. While I attended every zoom call possible, it was their time and patience in connecting me with institutions, reading my drafts, and overall support is what made my application and project possible. Never be afraid to reach out to UNT staff, they were instrumental in my success and belief in myself."

1.  What’s your major? Where are you from?
I am a Fulbright scholar from Marsa Matrouh, Egypt, pursuing my M.S. in Computer Science. My research interests are in natural language processing and adapting large language models to better support Arabic learners through educational technology.

2. What was a culture shock when you first moved here?
My biggest culture shock has honestly been how quiet the streets are! Malls closing surprisingly early, seeing people go outside specifically to tan, and I still haven’t figured out what I’m supposed to do with all the coins😭. Also at Walmart, everyone says “sorry” when they pass you—even when they didn’t bump into you!

3.  Recent accomplishment?
Completing my 14-month journey to receive a Fulbright grant. Going from being the #1 graduate in my university’s first Computer Science cohort to sitting in a classroom at UNT feels surreal. More than anything, it feels like a huge milestone for both my career and the community I come from.

4.  Fav activity on campus
Attending campus events! I love meeting new people, trying things I’ve never done before, and making friends along the way. As a new international student, every event feels like an opportunity to discover another part of campus life.

5. A resource you like on campus:
Peet’s Coffee at Discovery Park! It makes my life so much easier when I have a class coming up. I can grab a coffee and quickly prepare for class at the same time. It’s become my little pre-class routine.

6.  any advice for new International students?
Never be afraid to ask for help. People here are generally very welcoming, and you DO NOT have to figure everything out on your own. Make new connections, try new things, and embrace the experience, but don’t lose your values in the process. Stay connected to the people you love back home, and never belittle your own emotions. Adjusting to a new country is a big experience, and it’s okay to have difficult days.
