The Evans School of Public Affairs hosts between 12 and 14 midcareer professionals from around the world every year through the Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program. The fellows take part in one year of advanced non-degree study to gain hands-on experience and theoretical knowledge of how the U.S. approaches work in their professional fields.
Past Humphrey fellows have come from the fields of:
- Natural resources & environmental management
- Public policy analysis & public administration
- Economic development
- Agricultural development
- Finance & banking
- Human resource management
- Education planning
- Urban/regional planning
- Democratic development
The University of Washington is one of only 17 universities in the U.S. where Humphrey fellows are placed, and has hosted more than 240 fellows from more than 90 different nations since 1987. For the Evans School, this has provided an invaluable resource of international perspectives on public policy issues that cross national boundaries. Learn more about our 2009-10 Hubert H. Humphrey Fellows online or download our 2009-10 brochure (996 KB PDF)
The Humphrey Fellowship program is administered by the Institute of International Education and primarily supported by the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.
