Dr. Celestín Monga of the World Bank speaks about the “The Challenge of Happiness” at the Humphrey Fellows graduation ceremony in May 2010.

Dear Boston University Humphrey Program Family and Friends,

Happy New Year from the Humphrey Program team at the State Department in Washington, DC! I hope this letter finds you happy, healthy, and looking ahead to the opportunities of a new year.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton addressed the current class of 218 Hubert H. Humphrey Fellows as well as foreign diplomats and other guests in the State Department’s Benjamin Franklin Room at a reception honor-ing the Humphrey Fellows during the 2010 Global Leadership Forum.

The Secretary praised the Fellows “for deciding . . . to come to the United States and to learn and to let us learn from you as we build greater understanding and more bridges between people. I think that the idea of nurturing talent and creating opportunities for the next genera-tion is really key to what we’re trying to do in the Obama Administra-tion and here at the State Department. We’ve got to build more mutual understanding and mutual respect.” To view Secretary Clinton’s remarks, to hear and see the reception from the Humphrey Fellows, and perhaps to reconnect with your own Humphrey experience, please visit www.state.gov/secretary/rm/2010/10/149938.htm.

Secretary Clinton told the Fellows that “We do expect great things from you when you return home after this period here as a Humphrey Fellow.” There are now more than 4,200 Humphrey alumni— including you—building a legacy of leadership and public service around the world. What have you been doing since your Humphrey experience? Please let us know through our partners at Boston University and the Institute of International Education.

In closing, we would like to acknowledge and thank Boston University for their continued support of the Humphrey Fellowship Program. We look forward to working with BU, and each of you, to build an ever-stronger and more active alumni network of Humphrey Fellows in the future.

With best regards,

John Sedlins Chief, Office of Global Educational Programs United States Department of State

Dear Friends and Alumni of the Humphrey Program at Boston University,

It is my great pleasure to greet you as the new Humphrey Program Director at the Institute of International Education. I moved to Wash-ington, DC, this past August from Chicago, where I worked on a peace fellowship program sponsored by Rotary International. There are many similarities between the Rotary Peace Fellowship and the Humphrey Fellowship. They are both programs geared toward mid-career professionals that provide professional development opportunities to those seeking to

make the world a better, more peaceful place.I feel extremely lucky to work with a fantastic staff at IIE and wonderful

colleagues at the State Department and our host universities in support of this great program. Having met the current class of Fellows recently here in DC at the Global Leadership Forum, I was struck by the energy and dyna-mism that a group of 218 outstanding leaders from over 90 countries brings to a common goal of public service.

We now have over 4,200 alumni from 157 countries—415 of whom studied at Boston University. BU has been a valuable partner by hosting Fellows from the very beginning of the program and helping shape the content of the Fellowship itself. On behalf of everyone at IIE’s Humphrey Division, I offer deep appreciation to Dr. Ksenya Khinchuk, Andrew Murphy, and everyone at BU for your support!

I urge all BU alumni to remain in touch with us through our alumni website at http://humphreyfellowship.org. We are currently in the process of establishing a Facebook page as well. Also, please remember that the U.S. Department of State hosts an alumni website for all grantees (www.alumni.state.gov). Please be sure to register on this site and take advantage of the resources it offers. You will also find a Humphrey sub-community on the alumni.state.gov website that will connect you to the IIE Humphrey web.

On behalf of the staff here at the Humphrey Program at IIE, I send you best wishes for a successful year.

Sincerely

Judy Gibson Director, Humphrey Fellowship ProgramInstitute of International Education

Dear Alumni,

To all of you and your loved ones, I once again have the pleasure of sending greetings and warm wishes for a happy and prosper-ous new year from 704 Commonwealth Avenue!

We hope that 2010 brought you good health and prosperity as well as professional and personal success. It is our belief that your Humphrey year has prepared you to embrace many changes in these dynamic times and also enhanced your skills in processing an ever-increasing volume of information. We also hope that you have kept a balance between your professional and personal lives by spending cherished moments with family and friends.

This past year has been a good one for the Humphrey Program at BU, as all Fellows were extraordinarily successful. While maintaining our traditions, we also continue to look for ways to both improve and add new features to the program.

With the initial vision of Francisco Morey (Chile 2009/10), we have begun a large-scale website redevelopment process. The site will substantially improve commu-nication and interaction among all BU Humphrey alumni and will enable more collaboration between Fellows and the Boston University community as a whole.

For twenty years, we have maintained a tradition of producing our annual news-letter in order to stay in touch with our extended Humphrey family residing in over 100 countries. We are happy to share their stories with you in this issue.

Many of you may remember our remark-able guest speaker at the 30th Anniversary Humphrey Program dinner, Dr. Celestín Monga, lead economist and advisor to the senior vice president at the World Bank. We invited Dr. Monga to once again be the speaker at our graduation ceremony. He distinguished himself with a witty and uplifting speech entitled “The Challenge of Happiness: Post-Graduation Citizenship.” Nassera Senhadji (Algeria 2009/10) was chosen by the Fellows to speak on their behalf at the ceremony and gave a truly moving performance.

On August 1, Dr. Edward Roslof, former Director of the Humphrey Program, was

promoted to Deputy Vice President for Scholar and Professional Programs at the Institute of International Education. Con-gratulations, Dr. Roslof! During the pro-gram’s annual Global Leadership Forum in Washington, DC, we had the privilege of meeting the new director, Judy Gibson. Please welcome Judy and wish her great success in leading the program to new heights. (See her biography on page 3.)

The last five years of the program at BU have been particularly successful due to the guidance of Provost David Campbell. Many of you will remember his warm and inspiring welcoming remarks at the begin-ning of the year, his insightful advice on many professional and social activities, and his remarkable performance as Gradua-tion Master of Ceremonies. A prominent physicist and talented educator, Provost Campbell has returned to his first loves, research and teaching. Please join me in expressing our deep appreciation to Provost Campbell for his constant and unwavering support and in wishing him many years of productive work as a scholar and educator.

The first day of the New Year at BU was the first day for Provost Jean Morrison, who will, among many other duties, oversee the program. Dr. Morrison is the first female Provost in the history of Boston University, so please join me in welcoming her. (See her biography on page 5.)

Another change for the program in Boston is that Jesse Brady has moved to Montana to pursue her dream of becoming a medical professional. Jesse will certainly be missed, but we applaud her courage. Please join me in wishing Jesse the best of luck in her future endeavors.

Let us also welcome her successor, our new Assistant Director, Andrew Murphy. Andrew is a Bostonian by birth and two times a Boston University alumnus. (See his biography on page 4.)

Dean Louis E. Lataif of the School of Man-agement, a longtime friend and supporter of the program, has also retired. We wish him and his family the very best even as we hope to continue our collaboration. Taking over for Dean Lataif is Dean Kenneth Freeman. Dean Freeman has already embraced the mission of the Humphrey Program and immediately became a friend and staunch supporter. We thank him for

his tremendous support and look forward to working with him. (See his biography on page 3.)

In accordance with tradition, I now have the honor of introducing you to the 32nd class of Humphrey Fellows. In 2010/11 we host 15 outstanding Fellows from 13 coun-tries. (See pages 19–21.) Please welcome them to our ever-expanding Humphrey family.

I also have the pleasure of forwarding greetings from your friends Professor John Harris, Dean Sonia Parker, Professor Jack McCarthy, Gregory Khinchuk, David Tarr, Silas Blodgett, Jesse Brady, and all of your professors, advisors, and friends.

All of us in Boston echo Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in stating: “We believe in you. We support you.” Please continue your great service for the benefit of your countries. Please continue to make a difference for the benefit of all around you and continue sharing your stories with us. I am always thankful for your emails, letters, and phone calls. Your friend-ship is a treasured blessing.

Once again, I wish you and your loved ones a Happy, Healthy, and Harmonious Year!

Truly yours,

Dr. Ksenya Khinchuk, Director Boston University Humphrey Program

Boston University School of Management MBA Ranked Among Top 40 Schools Nationally, 5th in New England by BusinessWeek

Boston University School of Manage-ment placed 38th among full-time MBA programs in the 2010 Bloomberg BusinessWeek MBA Rankings of United States programs. Within the greater Boston area, the School of Manage-ment ranked third behind Harvard and MIT, and in New England, ranked fifth behind Harvard, MIT, Dartmouth, and Yale.

“We are enormously proud of this indi-cation of the School’s growing reputa-tion,” says Dean Kenneth W. Freeman. “We are admitting strong students to our program, and they are making a

very favorable impression on employ-ers as they graduate. We are attracting and retaining exceptional faculty at the School, conducting relevant research, and providing inspirational teach-ing. The dedication and commitment of the staff to providing exceptional support services for students, faculty, and alumni provide an important foundation. In addition, the reputation of our successful alumni represents a great strength. The School has good momentum today and great potential to continue to climb.”

Provost Morrison

Jean Morrison, former executive vice provost for academic affairs and graduate programs at the University of Southern California, has been named University Pro-vost and chief academic officer. Morrison, who is also a professor of earth sciences, has been director of the USC Women in Science and Engineering program for the past eight years. She has been a faculty member at USC since 1988.

Morrison believes that the many similari-ties between the two institutions will serve her well. “Both USC and BU are large, urban research universities that serve large undergraduate populations, but also have a significant cohort of graduate students,”

she says. “They’re both characterized by a college of arts and sciences and an array of professional schools. Having had experience with the full breadth of disciplines and size and shape and form should be very helpful.”

Morrison is a metamorphic petrologist, whose research explores the evolution of the Earth’s crust. As a doctoral candidate, she conducted research in the Adirondack Mountains of New York.

Morrison has served on several National Science Foundation panels, as an editor of the Journal of Metamorphic Geology, and as an associate editor of American Mineralo-gist and the Geological Society of America Bulletin. In 2000, she was named Sigma

Chi Professor of the Year, and she received Sigma Gamma Epsilon’s Excellence in Teaching Award. She earned a BA from Colgate University in 1980, an MS from the Univer-sity of Georgia in 1983, and a PhD from the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1988.

ment Economics Vice Presidency. He has also served on the Board of Directors of MIT’s Sloan School of Management (Sloan Fellows) and taught at Boston University and the University of Bordeaux (France). He was the economics editor for the widely acclaimed five-volume New Encyclopedia of Africa (Scribner, 2007). Prior to joining the World Bank, he worked as Department Head and Manager in the Banque Natio-nale de Paris group. He holds degrees from MIT, Harvard, and the universities of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, Bordeaux, and Pau.

GRADUATION 2010

The graduation ceremony for the 2009/2010 Boston University Humphrey Fellows was a tremendous success. Our commencement speaker was Dr. Celestín Monga from the World Bank. Dr. Monga, a native of Cameroon, is Economic Advisor to the World Bank Senior Vice President and Chief Economist. In his 13-year career in the bank, he has held positions in both operations and in the research depart-ment, including as Lead Economist in Europe and Central Asia and Manager of the Policy Review team in the Develop-

In his commencement speech, Dr. Monga issued a call for generosity and caring: “Being happy is creating the conditions for someone else to feel and appreciate the joys of being alive . . . Happiness is a gift that you cannot find individually, or by pleasing yourself. It can only be obtained through other people, whom you must make better off. Happiness comes to you when you are able to lift the unpleasant burdens of life from others, when you act ethically to alleviate suffering, and to bring a smile on someone else’s face—not just yours.”

Andrew Murphy grew up in Nahant, a peninsula twenty minutes northeast of Boston. The town is the smallest (in terms of land) in Massachusetts, covering just one square mile. His upbringing in such a unique locale nurtured a desire to purse an education in community development. He chose to attend Boston University for his undergraduate studies and received his bachelor’s degree in international relations. This academic work led him to excel in the Spanish language, where he learned to appreciate Hispanic authors, literature, and, most importantly, culture. Andrew then continued his education, pursuing a master’s degree in city plan-ning. He was fortunate enough to be offered a professional position in facili-

ties management at the University while obtaining his graduate degree.

In this professional role, Andrew learned to embrace the cultural complexities inherent in working with a large student body at a major urban university. He worked in tandem with University executives on community service programs and offered his unique skill set in the field of planning to develop a campus ini-tiative that incorporates aspects of sustainabil-ity and environmental management. Andrew’s commitment to public service throughout the community attracted him to the mission of the Hubert Humphrey Fellowship Program, due to its cross-cultural exchange of ideas and dedication to promoting areas of public service on a global scale.

Steven Adam, from South Ozone Park, New York, is an undergraduate student in the School of Management with concentrations in entrepreneurship and

management information systems. This is Steven’s second—and, unfortunately, last—year with the Humphrey Program. Best of luck to you, Steven.

Tasia Rechisky, from Sunapee, New Hampshire, is an undergraduate stu-dent in the College of Arts & Sciences. This is Tasia’s first year with the pro-

gram and at BU. Welcome, Tasia.

This year, the Humphrey office has six wonderful student staff assistants:

Ariana Alisjahbana, from Bandung, Indonesia, is an undergraduate stu-dent double major-ing in economics and environmental analysis & policy.

This is Ariana’s third and final year with the Humphrey Program, as she will be graduating in May. We wish you the very best, Ariana.

Zach Rodriguez, from Syracuse, New York, is a second-year graduate student in the School of Theol-ogy concentrating in philosophy, theology & ethics. This is his

second year, and sadly his last, with the Humphrey Program, as he will be graduating in May. Best wishes, Zach, on your future endeavors.

Dora Quach, from Kirkland, Washing-ton, is an undergrad-uate student studying biochemistry and molecular biology. This is Dora’s second year working with

the Humphrey Program.

Lana Tkachenko, from St. Louis, Missouri, is an undergraduate in the College of Com-munication studying advertising with a minor in sociology.

This is Lana’s third and final year with the program as she will also be graduat-ing in May. Good luck, Lana!

Lorena Dueñas Pacheco, 2007/2008 El Salvador, Central America

Unlike Lorena’s family, who managed to remain in their home country of El Salvador during the civil war, many Sal-vadorans facing tough situations chose to leave the country. An estimated 2 million Salvadorans—or about 20 percent of the population—now live in the United States. Dueñas, director of market regulation for El Salvador’s Superintendencia de Valores (SUPERVAL, the equivalent of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission), would like to change that.

“The stock market can help create new projects and more productivity and build the sort of country where people want to stay and raise families,” Dueñas says.

As director, she began researching markets in other countries to see what best practices could be applied in El Salvador. After the U.S. Embassy invited her to participate in a three-week trip to U.S. financial institu-tions from New York to San Francisco, Dueñas applied for and was accepted to the Humphrey Fellowship Program to study at Boston University. “My experience in the U.S. helped me learn more about financial products and their variable risks,” Dueñas says. “I learned different techniques in market supervision and the distinct prob-lems faced by foreign stock markets.”

Back in her home country, Dueñas launched the first “Latin America and Caribbean Capital Market Development and Oversight Training Program” in December 2008. This seminar brought together more than 100 participants from markets in 11 countries. Dueñas has also developed a supervision model for small and underdeveloped securi-ties markets. She hopes ultimately to help build a well-regulated regional stock market that will attract investors and business to Central America.

“The stock market in El Salvador is really very small. We cannot develop it alone,” Dueñas says. “With globalization it is necessary to look for partners around the world, and your natural partners are your neighbors. Together we can build an attractive regional market for inves-tors.” After her Humphrey program year, Lorena continued working as the direc-tor of Market Regulation and Disclosure. She is also helping SUPERVAL to build a Central American stock market and to introduce international standards for the securities market in her country, including the development and implementation of a risk-based supervision model.

In 2009, she graduated from Boston Uni-versity with a Master of Science in Adminis-trative Studies in Financial Economics. The same year, she published her research paper, “A Risk-Based Supervision Model for Small and Underdeveloped Securities Markets.”

Business Plan Competition for African Technology Incubators and the African Plus (A+) Conference, by Adesuwa Ifedi (Nigeria, 2009/10)

African Technology Incubators (ATI) is a social business consulting firm focused on creating and enabling an environment for the development of profitable and sustain-able African technology-based businesses. Our concept is based on the philosophy that the development gap can be profitably bridged by home-grown innovations that take into consideration the present state of infrastructure in Africa, thereby designing products and services that can work even in rural Africa.

African Technology Incubators is focused on searching out and challenging these African innovators through a business plan competition and working with these entre-preneurs to effectively price and market their inventions, making them profitable and sustainable.

How we work

ATI provides a virtual incubator that is positioned to accelerate businesses by offer-ing a community of services that link them with people, information, and technology that will increase their competitiveness and profitability exponentially.

Our Services

1. Consulting service Working with a network of consultants and volunteers, ATI provides the follow-ing services: a. Business plan development b. Market research c. Start-up support d. HR outsourcing e. HR/marketing/financial/strategy e. consulting f. Financial linkages

2. Training workshops on technology for development We also advocate for potential entrepre-neurs and investors to take advantage of the underserved market at the bottom of the pyramid and invest in goods and services that will improve the quality of life for these people.

3. Business plan competition ATI’s five-year plan is to establish a tech-nology cluster that focuses on developing products that will foster development. Our business plan competition will help farm the market for inventors while encouraging interest in research in this field.

The strategy for the African Technology Incubators business plan competition

ATI seeks out innovators through business plan competitions and that helps these innovators package their ideas effectively, making them financially attractive to inves-tors and customers. During this process, the business ideas are also reviewed by social sector experts and entrepreneurs to test their acceptability in the African market.

Working with our partnering institution from Boston University’s Institute for Technology Entrepreneurship & Com-mercialization, the Enterprise Develop-ment Center of Lagos Business School (Pan African University), and ACCIÓN micro-finance bank, the best five business ideas from this competition are taken through a customized training that tests the com-mercial strength of their products and its attractiveness to future investors.

The eventual winner from the top three will then receive equity investment as well as complete consulting support for three years to take his or her invention to market. The first of these business plan

competitions is scheduled to kick off in August 2011, with a six-month timeline to the final event.

The African Plus (A+) Conference

Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) is a global nonprofit committed to changing the world through the positive power of business. Working with university under-graduates, SIFE prepares youths to take what they are learning in the classroom to make a tangible impact in the real world and create sustainable livelihoods for others.

SIFE runs strong programs in the following 10 African countries: Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, Morocco, Nigeria, Senegal, South Africa, Swaziland, Tunisia, and Zimbabwe. The African region has a total of 7,400 students from 179 universities across the continent. Two countries from the African region have emerged overall winners of the SIFE World Cup Competition, Zimbabwe in 2005 and Egypt in 2009.

The Conference

The Need The A+ Conference is a youth leadership conference designed to provide a platform for young Africans who have displayed leadership in their home countries to lend their voices on the future of the continent. In a continent with over 60 percent of the population below the age of 35, it is disheartening to know that young people play little or no role in leadership either in business or in government.

The A+ conference is designed to bring together young community leaders from across Africa, with a representation of 60 percent women, who have been involved in SIFE programs and have implemented projects that have addressed social, eco-nomic, and environmental challenges, positively impacting the lives of people in their community.

The Vision The A+ conference is designed to engage young Africans in actively contributing to the future of the continent, preparing them to take up leadership roles in their coun-tries today.

Africa+ Conference 2011

The SIFE African region proposes to hold the first A+ conference tagged “Leader-ship and Succession” in Lagos, Nigeria, in March 2011. This conference will bring together over 500 youth leaders from 11 countries in Africa for a three-day con-ference which will feature workshops, seminars, working group sessions, and presentations from each country on chal-lenges addressed by the SIFE teams during the year. Of key importance will be the dia-logue on the Future Leadership in Africa, highlighting the critical skills shortage that most African countries face. It is expected that upon their return to their home countries, the SIFE Africa Youth Leaders will facilitate workshops to transfer skills and knowledge to other youth and com-munity members, participate in mentoring programs with business leaders, and share best practices on the issues of leadership development in their institutions.

Hubert Humphrey was a man always ahead of his time. He was the legislative genius and pioneer of some of our nation’s most important progressive legislation in the 20th century, both at home and abroad.

Beyond his legislative record, perhaps Hubert Humphrey’s greatest legacy to the world is the Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program and the more than 4,200 Humphrey Fellows from 157 countries around the world—415 of whom have studied at Boston University—who carry out his mission today.I encourage each of you to think about how you can reach out and talk to high school and college stu-dents about your Humphrey experience and the work that you do. Take time to talk with young leaders and followers in your communities at home, as well as in your professional and social circles, about the important lessons you have learned from your Humphrey experience. Finally, I encourage each of you as Humphrey Leaders to build upon your experience through the extensive global network of Humphrey alumni. The network will expand your vision, strengthen your resources, and develop within you a sense of common purpose. It will provide you access to an extended family with new and innovative ideas, strategies, and appropriate solutions to the challenges confronting your community, profession, and country.

—Anne Howard Tristani

The Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program is known to present wonderful opportunities to Fellows who get a chance to increase their potential through aca-demic study and professional experience in the United States. What is more, some-times it offers opportunities that you do not expect at all.

I finished my Humphrey year and was ready to go to my home country. I was basically counting down the days till my departure and, meanwhile, was enjoying the beauty of the short New England summer and catching up on the activities I did not have time for during my Humphrey year. I reserved a ticket and even packed one of my suitcases when a new exciting opportu-nity opened up. Professor Phillip Tate, who teaches courses on the foundations and philosophy of education, offered me the position of Teaching Fellow for SED ED 100 Introduction to Education.

It was a very tempting offer. Back home, I taught English language instruction methodology at Kyrgyz-Russian Slavic University and supervised student-teachers during their student-teaching practicums. Therefore, I understood that this Teaching Fellowship would be an invaluable experi-ence for me because it would allow me to learn how a teacher-preparation program was organized and carried out in one of

the best schools of education in the United States. Besides, as I would be actively involved in the process of teaching by grad-ing papers, leading small group discussions, and supervising students during their field experiences, I would be able to develop and enhance my practical skills of teaching and supervising. However, I was really dubi-ous about whether I would be able to cope successfully with all the responsibilities this demanding position involved. Eventually, I decided to take a risk.

And here I am—three weeks before the end of the semester, which has been very challenging for me so far. The amount of work has been considerable. In fact, I have to play two roles. On the one hand, I am a

student who has to do all the readings and attend all the lectures in order to get ready for the small group discussions. On the other hand, while responding to students’ journals and grading their written assign-ments, I am a teacher. However, despite the intensity of the semester, I know that the risk I took will pay off. Not only will I extend my knowledge about teacher education and teacher preparation, but also I will learn lots of ideas I can take back home and implement in my own university classroom. Reflecting on my experience this semester, I can say that the Hubert H. Hum-phrey Fellowship Program does offer ample opportunities, but we do need to be bold enough to take advantage of them.

Reflections from 2009/2010 Fellow Anna Fatneva (Kyrgyzstan)

Ruth and Bob Batchelder, former host fam-ily leaders, send their best wishes from Plano, Texas. They don’t miss the winters in Boston but do miss the beautiful New England scenery. Their family continues to grow as they recently welcomed two new great-grandchildren and are expecting another in June of this year. Plano is a large multicultural city, so they believe their time with the Humphrey Program helped them to feel more at home in this part of Texas. We thank Ruth and Bob for their support and kind holiday greetings.

A note from long-time friends

An inspirational life

Sujeev Shakya (Nepal, 2002/2003), his wife Alpa, and his daughter Suyasha send their wishes for a happy new year. Sujeev also shared with us a solemn yet inspirational story. His uncle, who recently passed away, was bedridden for 56 years of his life. He was, however, a significant motivational force in the lives of Sujeev’s entire family. His uncle never once complained about the hardships that he faced but rather lived his life to the fullest, teaching all the true meaning of life. Sujeev, our thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult and trying time.

Supporting orphans in RwandaAt the beginning of each Humphrey year, the program runs a charity auction for household goods left behind by the previous year’s Fellows. All proceeds go to support the War Children in Africa Project, a charitable organization helping to provide for orphaned and vulner-able children in Rwanda. The money that was raised this year will provide 40 children with uniforms, materials, and school fees, allowing many to attend school for the first time in their lives. FXB International, the organization that oversees this project, has helped to change the lives of more than 95,000 children and adults in Africa, Asia, and South America. Their efforts have been recognized by UNICEF as well as by Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen. In her letter to us, Kate Malarkey of FXB expresses her appreciation of our continued generosity and support for their cause.

Adesuwa Ifedi, Dr. Khinchuk, and Anna Fatneva, happy to see each other in Boston.

Ruth and Bob’s dedication to their family and the international community is truly remarkable. We miss you Ruth and Bob!
