‘Friendship Families’ sought to befriend Humphrey Fellows

Would you like to get involved on campus and develop international friendships?

The Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program, a Fulbright exchange program for educational leaders from developing countries, is looking for Friendship Families for the 2014-15 academic year.

This year’s cohort of Humphrey Fellows, hosted by Peabody College of education and human development, hail from Benin, Brazil, China, El Salvador, The Gambia, Mauritania, Niger, Pakistan, Philippines and South Africa.

They will take part in learning, community service and cultural exchange for the next year. For some, it is their first introduction to American culture.

Friendship Families serve as an extended academic and social network for the Humphrey Fellows and will be invited to participate in various social and cultural events on and off campus with the fellows.
