The Mandela Washington Fellows at Dartmouth

Dartmouth’s third summer as a Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) host for a cohort of Mandela Washignton Fellows concluded in Washington, D.C. at the end of July. On campus, the program is a collaboration between the Dickey Center for International Understanding, the Nelson A. Rockefeller Center for Public Policy and the Social Sciences, the Dartmouth Center for Service, the Thayer School of Engineering, the Outdoor Programs Office, and the Dartmouth Entrepreneurial Network (DEN).
