Rowena Boddington

Interim Executive Director

Rowena is the Interim Executive Director of the US-UK Fulbright Commission and provides strategic and operational leadership of the Commission and its programmes and activities. Rowena works closely in partnership with the Board of Commissioners, partner governments and universities, alumni, funders and other stakeholders to ensure that Fulbright continues to be an outstanding transatlantic higher education programme facilitating educational and cultural exchange between the US and UK.

Before becoming the Interim Executive Director, Rowena worked across the EducationUSA and Sutton Trust Fulbright US Programme at the Commission for eight years, helping thousands of UK students explore study in the USA.

While an American studies student at a British university, Rowena had the opportunity to study abroad in California. This life-changing experience shaped and changed her perspective and she is passionate about helping more students have as transformational experiences studying in the US or UK as her own was.
