International Programs
The Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program was established in 1978 in honor of the late Senator and Vice President to commemorate and carry forward Hubert Humphrey's lifelong commitment to international cooperation and public service. It provides professionals from developing countries an opportunity to enhance their leadership potential and managerial skills. The specialized non-degree programs designed for Humphrey Fellows at selected universities are intended to strengthen and develop the Fellows' capacities to assume greater professional responsibilities, to give them an opportunity to broaden their perspectives, and to establish international professional contacts. Humphrey Fellows are mid-career professionals with a commitment to public service in both public and private sectors. Minimum qualifications include an undergraduate degree, substantive professional experience, demonstrated leadership qualities and fluency in English. Fellows at Cornell are able to shape a personally relevant program of investigation and learning based on a combination of independent projects, internships, field trips, special seminars and consultations with faculty and off-campus experts in their field.
