HUMPHREY FELLOWS HOST GLOBAL FORUM
This year's second Hubert Humphrey Fellowship Global Forum takes place this Thursday, July 29, from 2-5 p.m. at the International House in Davis. The Humphrey Program brings accomplished mid-career professionals from designated countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, the Middle East, and Eurasia to the U.S. for a year of graduate study and related professional experience.
President Jimmy Carter instituted the Humphrey Fellowship Program in 1978 to honor the late senator and vice-president, a long-time advocate of international cooperation and understanding. UC Davis Extension has hosted the Humphrey Fellows for the past sixteen summers for their Pre-academic Orientation and Training.
Thursday’s eleven speakers come from Bahrain, Senegal, Oman, Mexico, Ghana, Brazil, India, Argentina, Swaziland, Cote d’Ivoire, and Burma. Topics include “Agricultural Irrigation Practices in Omani Villages: Bringing Desert Villages to Life Again,” “The Sabinal River in Chiapas, Mexico: When We Turn Our Backs on the River,” “Children in Conflict with the Law in India: Bankrupt Slumdogs,” “Violence in Ivorian High Schools: When the Role Model Fails,” and many others of interest.
