Eleven Hubert H. Humphrey fellows from emerging democracies and developing countries are spending ten months at the Maxwell School participating in graduate study, professional development and cultural exchange.
The 2021-2022 cohort hails from Argentina, Azerbaijan, Benin, Burkina Faso, Guatemala, Malawi, Pakistan, Russia, and South Korea.
The fellows’ diverse professional experience and academic interests include anti-corruption, digital transformation and innovation, public administration, IT policy and management, NGO management, gender policy, and public policy, among other areas.
While at Syracuse University, Fellows engage with students, faculty, professional and civic organizations in diverse learning and exchange opportunities. This collaboration can take any number of forms, including as resources for faculty, classes, clubs and organizations.
The fellows are part of a cohort of more than 160 Humphrey fellows from about 95 countries. Syracuse University is one of 13 campuses across the country to host fellows this year.
The Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship program was initiated in 1978 to honor Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey and his life-long commitment to international cooperation and public service. The program is sponsored and funded by the U.S. Department of State with funding provided by the U.S. Government and administered by the Institute of International Education.
