Ms Augustine discussed Fulbright and other State Department exchange programs with an audience of more than 500 people that was followed by a lively Q&A session.

Acting PAO Mr Richard Roberts addressed at least 150 attendees in the lobby once all seating in the program rooms was filled. The interest and attendance demonstrates the popularity of State Department exchanges in Mongolia.
