Fellows Enjoy Lunch and Discussion with HHHP Alumna Agnes Igoye
On Monday, October 16th, 2010–2011 HHHP Alumna Agnes Igoye of Uganda met with the 2017–2018 cohort for lunch and a discussion about the Humphrey Program and how to navigate it.
Agnes was in Boston to join the 10th Annual Meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative University (CGI-U), where she was named to the CGI-U Honor Roll. As a member of CGI-U, Agnes is committed to establishing a rehabilitation center for the victims of human trafficking in Uganda. To date, she has trained over 2,000 law enforcement officers on counter-human trafficking, fundraised and delivered over 90,000 books to children across Uganda, and founded the Huts for Peace Program for homeless women who have survived violence in Northern Uganda. For her efforts, she has received recognition from the United Nations, Vital Voices, and the Women in Public Service Project among others.
During the 2016–2017 academic year, Agnes was a Mason Fellow at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. While she was studying at Harvard, she met with BU Fellows a number of times and also addressed the cohort as our Commencement Speaker.
We are grateful to Agnes for her making time to meet this year’s cohort during her brief return to Boston.
