Institute for Global Leadership Alumni

home > alumni > alumni

Over 1000 Tufts students have very successfully navigated the Institute's academic courses.

IGL alumni have majored in virtually every subject, and this is increasing as befits the Institute's new cross school interdisciplinary status. They have been bio medical engineers to Conservatory performance majors in cello, viola and opera. In addition to the more expected fields of international relations and political science, given the Institute's global affairs centrality, they have also come from philosophy, computer science, neuroscience, language arts, the Museum School for the Arts and the Medical School and far beyond. Many of our students have maintained close and enduring contact with the Institute and among themselves. They have created many mentoring and professional opportunities for their ensuing fellow IGL classmates from internships in poverty welfare law practice to global analysis of counter terrorism strategies...

We are very proud of their accomplishments which have seen so many of them innovate, create their own careers, and accelerate ahead, not only in their own professional trajectories as directors, senior officers and officials, but as befits a program on leadership, most importantly, as creators of significant social progress.

It has been fascinating and rewarding to see their evolution from laser artists to staff of the National Security Council, from Medical School emergency room physicians to published authors and poets; from senior political writers for the New York Times to senior officials in the Department of Peacekeeping in the United Nations; from directors of refugee protection for the UNHCR and IDPs globally to professors of neuroscience; from the head of Goldman Sachs in Hong Kong to the head of the International Labor Organization's Women and Children's' Division for the Middle East.

IGL Alumni are truly global citizens, originating and holding passports from virtually every corner of the world, Afghanistan to Mongolia, Colombia to Singapore, Lebanon to Nigeria... and our U.S. citizens have truly travelled the world.

The findings of multi year survey conducted by external advisors of the Fund for Innovation in Post Secondary Education of the U.S. Department of Education has studied the impact of the oldest of the Institute's foundation programs, EPIIC, The FIPSE findings, termed "spectacular," are enclosed. While naturally the most mature alumni records enclosed have been kept on EPIIC program, now in its 24th year, as the Institute evolves, these entries will reflect the growth of the Institute into its current 18 programs.
