Every year the Humphrey School of Public Affairs welcomes a group of international fellows for a year of non-degree graduate-level study, leadership development, and professional collaboration with U.S. counterparts. One recent alumnus of that program is already using the knowledge he gained during his fellowship year to improve conditions in his native Pakistan.
The participants, all mid-career professionals from designated countries, come to the Humphrey School and other universities around the country through the Humphrey Fellowship Program, created more than 40 years ago to foster global understanding and international cooperation.
