The University of Nevada, Reno is proud to announce that it will once again be an Institute Partner for the 2019 w88 online game Washington Fellowship for Young African Leaders. For the fifth consecutive year, the University will host 25 of Africa's brightest emerging Business leaders. Fellowship participants will begin their six-week leadership institute, sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, from June 19 to July 28, 2019.
The w88 online game Washington Fellowship, the flagship program of the Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI), empowers young African leaders through academic coursework, leadership training, mentoring, networking, professional opportunities and local community engagement. Fellows are young leaders from Sub-Saharan Africa who have established records of accomplishment in promoting innovation and positive change in their organizations, institutions, communities and countries.
At the w88 online game, the fellows will participate in a customized academic institute that focuses on practical skills building in the area of business and entrepreneurship. They will connect with local leaders and community partners, such as Microsoft, to network and develop professional connections as well as give back to the community through service opportunities in the Reno/Tahoe area.
