Overview
Never doubt what a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can do to change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has” – Margaret Mead.
The Alumni Network of the BMGA Fellows Program provides the opportunity for Fellows to collectively give back to the BMGA Fellows Program, nurture the professional relationships that have begun among them, and transform their immediate environment via annual impact engagements. The Fellows from various industries together form a multi-disciplinary team of intellectual young women that can adequately support the growth of the BMGA Fellows Program and tackle global issues holistically.
So far, the impact of the program on the career trajectory of our Fellows is already evident. Some of our Fellows, who currently reside in over twelve (12) countries within Africa, Europe, North America, and Asia, have already gotten admissions with scholarships into top graduate schools such as Georgetown Law, the University of Cambridge, and the University of California, Berkeley. Others have received full-time job offers from global firms such as Google and the United Nations.
