(2) International exchange programs give the state's students and school faculty the opportunity to share their histories, languages, and cultures with foreign students;
(3) Arkansas's own former United States Senator James William Fulbright championed efforts to establish international exchange programs, the most famous of which bears his name, the "Fulbright Fellowships"; and
