Faculty Advisors, 2025-26

In addition to program staff, each Humphrey fellow is assigned a faculty advisor.  Faculty advisors serve as role models for fellows; provide suggestions related to their professional development goals; and facilitate involvement in special projects, if available.  They are a valuable resource for fellows, and many advisors develop long-term relationships with the fellows they have advised.
