2023 Community College Global Affairs Fellowship Fellow Cohort

The Community College Global Affairs Fellowship (CCGAF) is a paid summer enrichment and mentorship program that seeks to expand access to global education opportunities and international affairs careers to community college, transfer, and non-traditional students. A partnership between Meridian International Center, Global Community College Transfers (GCCT), and Community Colleges for International Development (CCID), the CCGAF provides evidence-based skill-building, mentorship and 1:1 coaching, as well as ongoing access to networks and career supports that global affairs students and professionals need to grow in their work, advance to higher levels of leadership, and become decision-makers on the world stage. This is the cohort of the inaugural 29 fellows who participated in summer 2023.

The Community College Global Affairs Fellowship was made possible through the generous support of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
