Arrival of 2018-2019 Vanderbilt Humphrey Fellows
What a happy decennial it is to the Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program hosted at Vanderbilt University since 2009!
We gladly welcome our new cohort of 11 fellows representing 10 countries from near, far, and farther – Argentina, Burundi, Chile, Iran, Mexico, Pakistan, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Slovakia, and South Africa.
The Humphrey Fellowship Program, sponsored by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, seeks out mid-career professionals who have demonstrated a commitment to leadership and service in their home countries and who are ready for 10 months of leadership development, professional development and mutual exchange.
The Fellows hit the ground running, as they have already visited various schools and organizations in Nashville where they can give back to and partner with the Nashville community. It is evident that they are already considering ways to impact their home countries’ k-12 schools, universities, and education policies and structures.
We look forward to a year with these eleven international professionals, and we can’t wait to see what they’ll do next!
