Quesdtrom Dean Kenneth Freeman welcoming the 2015-2016 cohort<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

On\u00a0Wednesday, September 23rd,\u00a0Dean<\/span> Kenneth Freeman<\/span> formally welcomed the 2015-2016 cohort to the Questrom School of Business and Boston University. This was the inaugural welcoming of Humphrey Fellows by a Questrom dean, as this year the University shifted the administrative home of\u00a0HHHP from\u00a0the Office of the Provost to Questrom.<\/p>\n

More than sixty guests including faculty, professional affiliates, host families, and other friends of the Program gathered to honor BU’s thirty-seventh cohort of Fellows. Among them were\u00a0former BU HHHP directors Ksenya Khinchuk, John Harris, and Sonia Parker, Alumna Tetyana Illyash (2012-2013\/Ukraine), Bank of America Senior Vice President (and BU Alumnus) Al Petras, SEC Boston Assistant Regional Director Joseph Mick, State Street Global Advisors Vice President Bruce Westgate, and our\u00a0collaborators in our Associate Campus Partnership with Bunker Hill Community College, Kathleen O’Neill, Wissal Nouchfif, and Zoe Edwards.<\/p>\n

Following Dean Freeman’s welcome, Associate Professor\u00a0Jack McCarthy gave his inaugural welcome as HHHP’s new director. \u00a0We were also fortunate that\u00a0Amy Nemith,\u00a0Assistant Director of the Global Professional Exchanges Division\u00a0and Program\u00a0Lead for the\u00a0<\/span>Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program at the\u00a0Institute of International Education in Washington, DC, was able to align\u00a0her annual visit with this event, and she addressed the audience as well.<\/p>\n

Each Fellow then took the podium and addressed the audience. \u00a0It was a wonderfully idiosyncratic array of self-introductions, all engaging and brimming with\u00a0excitement about the goals, objectives, and as yet\u00a0undiscovered\u00a0possibilities of the\u00a0year ahead. \u00a0The Fellows also expressed appreciation to the staff and interns who have supported\u00a0their transition to BU and the U.S. since they arrived in late August.<\/p>\n

We are grateful to all of our friends\u00a0who came out to join us in welcoming this year’s Fellows, and we look forward to a great year together!<\/p>\n
