Christopher Andrew Jarvinen, a partner on the Business Reorganization Team of Berger Singerman LLP, has been reappointed to the Peer Review Panel of the Fulbright Specialist Program. As one of the core international Fulbright Programs within the U.S. Department of State, the Fulbright Specialist Program pairs highly qualified U.S. academics and professionals with host institutions abroad to share their expertise, strengthen institutional linkages, hone their skills, gain international experience, and learn about other cultures while building capacity at their overseas host institutions. Specialists, who represent a wide range of professional and academic disciplines, are competitively selected to join the Fulbright Specialist Roster based on their knowledge, skill sets, and ability to make a significant contribution to projects overseas. Mr. Jarvinen, who has served for the past six years on the Peer Review Panel, reviews applications of individuals seeking to be selected for the Fulbright Specialist Roster. The individuals who are invited to join the Fulbright Specialist Roster are then eligible to be matched with approved projects designed by foreign host institutions from over 150 countries and other areas.
