Announcing the 8th Class of Leland Fellows!

Leland

We are thrilled to announce the 8th Class of Mickey Leland International Hunger Fellows who will serve from September 2015 – August 2017! These 12 candidates were selected from an exceptionally competitive pool of candidates, and we are proud of the diverse perspectives, backgrounds, and skills represented in the incoming class. The fellows will work on food security issues ranging from agricultural value-chain development to maternal and child nutrition to capacity building for higher education in agriculture. Their work will require skills in programming, monitoring and evaluation, research, and advocacy. The list of the 8th Class of Leland Fellows and their field and policy placements is below. Thank you to everyone who played a part in a successful selections process. And welcome, members of the 8th Class!
