ALUMNI

More than 200 IIPP alumni are working in government, business, non-profit organizations, and international service, including the Foreign Service of the United States throughout the world. They retain a strong identification with UNCFSP and the IIPP Fellowship Program, and they maintain a commitment to working with and supporting one another. Fellows enjoy alumni support and advice, and new IIPP graduates benefit from the assistance of fellow alumni as they begin their careers.

The IIPP encourages alumni to participate in many aspects of the IIPP program. For example, alumni help to recruit and serve on the IIPP Selection Committee that admits new IIPP Fellows. Alumni also provide guidance to current students as IIPP advisors. Additionally, many IIPP alumni contribute their time, effort, and financial support to guide new IIPP graduates into the international workforce.
