Who We Are
Launched in 2005 and formerly known as the Draper Hills Summer Fellows Program, the Fisher Family Summer Fellows Program on Democracy and Development at Stanford's Center on Democracy, Development and the Rule of Law is a three-week training program for global democratic leaders holding senior roles in their respective fields. Fellows live on the Stanford campus, take classes from leading Stanford faculty, and connect to a peer network of democratic leaders.

During the Summer Fellows Program, I had time to reflect on what could be next in my professional life. I left with new ideas, recharged with energy and determination, and more confident that what I do matters for advancing democracy in my home country.
