A welcome reception was given to humphrey fellows 2007-08 by the US State Dept on 30 Oct night. All had to pass through security gates and many antique enriched rooms/corridors till the main hallroom. Ms Karen Hughes, special advisor to the US President welcomed fellows with her eloquent and forceful speech. Also ambassadors/high officials of the diplomatic missions of the countries having fellows this year attended. Everybody engaged themselves in meeting with someone new, greeting, talking, eating and more noticeably taking photographs. It was a great networking scope for all.
On my query, Mr. John Sedlins, Chief, Humphrey Fellowships and Institutional Linkages Branch of the US State Dept responded that even after being the State Department official, he himself rarely gets the scope of getting into the hall. Being in the State Dept mainhall was a great honour indeed. As a Humphrey Fellow really feel proud !
