The new Humphrey Fellows

The 2015-2016 Humphrey Fellowship Program consists of 167 fellows from 90 countries hosted by 15 U.S. universities. Since 1978, more than 5,000 fellows from 159 countries have participated in the program. It is sponsored and funded by the U.S. Department of State and is administered by the Institute of International Education.

This year’s fellows hail from Cameroon, India, Kyrgyzstan, Madagascar, Mauritius, Moldova, Myanmar, Nigeria, Pakistan, Peru, Serbia and Togo. They were selected after a highly competitive and intensive application process based on their commitment to public service and their potential for leadership in both the public and NGO sectors.

“Executive Education is thrilled to welcome the Humphrey fellows to the Maxwell School. Their experience and global perspective add to the depth and breadth of the school,” says Margaret Lane, director of the 鶹ƵHumphrey fellowship program and assistant director of executive education.  “After their fellowship, they will be equipped with added skills, knowledge and networks to help make transformative changes in their respective countries. We look forward to their numerous contributions in the classroom, as well as in professional and cultural exchange opportunities during this year.”

During their stay in Syracuse, the Humphrey fellows will be available as a resource for classes, clubs and organizations. For more information, contact Lane at mailto:mmelane02@syr.edu.
