First-year students Jennifer Guzman and Michelle Perez have been selected for the McLarty Global Fellowship with Vital Voices Global Partnership for the Fall of 2015.
Jennifer Guzman will be working with the Human Rights Program Team on an evaluative research project to help Vital Voices learn more about the effectiveness of their “Institute Model” for training. Institutes bring together actors from across the criminal justice and service-provider communities of their countries to build a framework for a coordinated response to these crimes and to improve victim services. The project will also look into how the Institute Model supports women leaders working to address gender-based violence in their countries.
Michelle Perez will be working with the Global Programs on an evaluative research project that will help Vital Voices learn more about the effectiveness of different types of mentoring programs, mainly for women in business.
The fellowship will begin in early September and continue through the Fall. It will take place in Washington, D.C.
