IGGI HEAL Initiative

Congratulations to the Fall 2025 Fellows!

October 24, 2025

Dear IGGI Community,

The IGGI Board is delighted to recognize the Fall 2025 IGGI HEAL Initiative Fellows!

Each Fellow earned this distinction through both a strong written application and a rigorous interview demonstrating their commitment to community and alignment with IGGI’s core values — the rule of law, transparency in government, respect for persons, and democratic inclusion. Every Fellow provided inspiring examples of selfless service in advancing these principles, alongside their commitment to community-building through collaborative projects, training, research, and advocacy.

We also extend our heartfelt appreciation to the HEAL Initiative Executive Team for their hard work in the background and for the joy that they bring to regional and campus meetings. Their steady dedication and vision launched, strengthen and reinvigorate this vital initiative.

Congratulations once again to all of our new Fellows — and welcome to the IGGI family!

Onward and upward,
The IGGI Board of Directors
