The MacMillan Center at Yale Announces Fox International Fellows for 2015-2016
Twenty-nine students from Yale and leading universities across the globe — - including Latin America, Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East — have been awarded the 2015-2016 Fox International Fellowships. Selections were made on the potential of students to become leaders in their fields through path breaking research on some of the world’s most pressing challenges, such as peace and security, poverty alleviation, environmental degradation, resource stewardship, human rights and development.
The goal of the Fox program is to enhance mutual understanding between the peoples of the United States and other countries by promoting international scholarly exchanges and collaborations among the next generation of leaders. There are more than 500 alumni in the Fox International Fellowship network.
