Lunch & Learn

Join us for an exclusive event for Global Minnesota members! Our new Lunch & Learn series starts with a virtual visit from three Humphrey Fellows.

The second event, scheduled for April 14, will feature four additional speakers.

Learn about their professional work, countries, and cultures! We will have time for a Q&A at the end of the session.

The Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program brings accomplished mid-career professionals from developing designated nations and emerging democracies to the United States for a year of academic study, related professional experience, and cultural exchange. Fellows learn about the U.S. cultural, political, and economic systems and further develop a sense of the global context in which they and their countries operate.

This event is available to members of Global Minnesota who pre-registered. The program begins at 12:00 noon here:  ZOOM link.
