Institute of International Education Humphrey Alumni Resources
The Institute of International Education (IIE) is a private not-for-profit agency that administers the Fellowship Program in conjunction with the Department of State. The IIE has developed several alumni resources specific for Humphrey Fellows to help encourage professional growth and global exchange.
- To connect with Humphrey Fellows from across the world and to share your own accomplishments, visit the Humphrey Alumni Worldwide Site.
- Fellows can now join the Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program- Official Group on LinkedIn! LinkedIn is a great resource for professional networking between Fellows, program alumni and interested participants. It’s a platform to share professional development experiences and resources with one another. The IIE also created 10 subgroups based on the program’s professional areas. Some fields of study are combined in order to inspire networking and interaction between Fellows with similar professional interests. Please join the subgroup that best fits your needs.
- The IIE also awards deserving Fellows with grants to allow Fellows to pursue projects that use the knowledge and skills they acquired during their Humphrey Fellowship year, and also awards grants to provide funding for alumni to attend a conference, workshop or other professional activity that continues to draw upon the Humphrey experience by strengthening an alumni professional development.
