Texas Tech has been selected for the fifth time as a host institution for the Mandela Washington Fellowship for Young African Leaders. Starting mid-June, TTU will host 25 bright, emerging African Fellows for a six-week leadership institute sponsored by the U.S. Department of State. The cohort of Fellows hosted by Texas Tech will be part of a larger group of over 700 Mandela Washington Fellows studying at institutions across the U.S. this summer.
"Institutional commitment across different Texas Tech offices since the program was hosted for the first time in 2017 has laid a strong foundation to successfully continue to be selected over the years as institutional partners among the numerous university and college applicants nationwide," said Elizabeth Trejos-Castillo, vice provost of international affairs at Texas Tech. "Their presence at Texas Tech represents an invaluable opportunity for fostering knowledge and cultural exchange on campus and in the Lubbock community."
