How does a City works? Yesterday, we had the chance to find out! Our visit to the City of Minneapolis Public Service Building gave us a unique look at the people, policies, and partnerships that keep the city running. From discussions on racial equity and civil rights to learning about transportation and public services, it was an inspiring experience that highlighted the impact of local government on everyday life. Thank you to all the city staff who shared their expertise and stories with us! 💙🏙️

Twenty nine years after his Humphrey Fellowship, Mr. Rizine Robert Mzikamanda, Chief Justice of Malawi, returned to the Humphrey School; a powerful full-circle moment.

Through his reflections on justice for all and public service reform, he shared a vision of leadership grounded in integrity, accessibility, and responsibility.

For current Fellows, it was more than a visit, it was a living example of the lasting impact this program creates. Having a current fellow Leah Mwagomba from Malawi made it even more special. 🇲🇼

HHH fellows 25-26: A remarkable group of fellows representing ten countries, now just weeks away from completing their Humphrey Fellowship journey at the University of Minnesota.

Over the past year, they have brought diverse perspectives, professional expertise, and a shared commitment to public service engaging in meaningful dialogue, collaborative learning, and cross-cultural exchange.

As they prepare to transition from this chapter, they carry forward not only new knowledge and skills, but also lasting connections that will continue to shape their impact around the world.

Leah Mwagomba, a current Hubert H Humphrey Fellow, recently participated in the Community College Residency Program at the University of South Carolina Union.

Reflecting on the experience, Leah shared:
“It was an enriching experience that I enjoyed so much. While strengthening my cross-cultural communication and leadership skills, I was able to recognize how global perspectives, such as my work in governance and anti-corruption, can meaningfully contribute to institutional dialogue and practice.”
Leah is a Senior Investigations Officer at the Malawi Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB).

CCRP is an opportunity for selected fellows to increase their professional networks in the United States and play a role in a community college’s internationalization plan.
