The Fellowship prepares outstanding young people for Foreign Service careers in the U.S. Department of State
Two University of Georgia seniors and one recent graduate were selected for the Thomas R. Pickering Foreign Affairs Graduate Fellowship, marking the first time UGA has had three recipients in one year.
Funded by the U.S. Department of State and administered by Howard University, the Pickering Fellowship prepares outstanding young people for Foreign Service careers in the U.S. Department of State. UGA has had a total of five Pickering Fellows—including the three this year—since the program began in 1992.
The UGA recipients this fall are Clemencia El Antouri, a senior from Covington; a senior from Norcross; and Fardosa Hassan, who graduated from UGA in May.
