As a Fulbright Scholar visiting BRU-Iscte from the U.S, I had a wonderful and productive experience in the summer of 2023. Through formal research seminars and informal sharing sessions, I built working connections with several faculty members and graduate students on a wide range of topics related to financial and sustainability reporting. I also learned a great deal about the history, culture, as well as the economic, social and education system in Portugal. I thank Iscte and Fulbright, as well as my home institution Florida International University for making such a memorable and enriching learning experience possible for me.

June of 2023 was my third visit to Iscte, including an earlier Fulbright grant in 2017. As always, Iscte feels like a second home, with warm and welcoming colleagues in a stimulating environment. This time I visited as part of my sabbatical, working with Aristides Ferreira on an ongoing project related to perceptions of aging at work. I also met with Inês Sousa and Susana Schmitz to discuss our interests in aging at work and our new COST network, LeverAge. And I caught up with old friends and colleagues from over the years. As always, Iscte provides an exceptionally warm and productive research environment for visitors.
