Texas Tech has been selected for the fourth 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.
"We are excited to host the 2022 Mandela Washington Fellows and contribute toward developing the skills and experiences of a talented group of young African leaders who will serve the future of their communities and nations," said Sukant Misra, vice provost of international affairs at Texas Tech. "The program provides unique opportunities for the Fellows as well as Texas Tech faculty and staff, local organizations, and the greater Lubbock community to expand globally through networks, partnerships and friendships with emerging young African leaders."
