During my research efforts I came across an interesting page on the EducationUSA website entitled Foreign Students Yesterday, World Leaders Today that I thought I would share with IHEC Blog readers. Foreign Students Yesterday, World Leaders Today lists 342 current or former Heads of State, Ambassadors, Ministers as well as people in other positions of leadership/power in their respective home countries who all studied in the United States.
You can access Foreign Students Yesterday, World Leaders Today here. Foreign Students Yesterday, World Leaders Today is also available for download in PDF format on the website.
The Foreign Students Yesterday, World Leaders Today list is not to be confused with the list of International Visitor Leadership Program alumni. Currently there are 59 Chiefs of State and Heads of Government who participated in the International Visitor Leadership Program.
You can access the list of International Visitor Leadership Program alumni here.

Does anyone know of any other such lists? If so, please leave a comment with information on where to obtain the list.
There are often strong opinions on the value/meaning of such lists and I encourage discussion on this topic so please leave a comment!

Thanks for the post and link. It seems to me that there used to be a site (I think related to 'Fulbright at Fifty') that listed Fulbrighters who became leaders in their fields or in their countries. That link is no longer available (as far as I can tell) but there is an abbreviated list here: http://nationalhumanitiescenter.org/fbright/fbfifty.htm
ReplyDeleteI agree the value and meaning of the lists are certainly debatable but people love stats - for reports, proposals, etc. Anyway, the one for Fulbright certainly points to the successes of many grantees and hence the program. By the way, according to wikipedia, more Fulbrighters have been Nobel Prize winners than any other such program.
Thanks again for the link.
@Sabrina ~ Thanks for taking the time to comment and for the link to the abbreviated 'Fulbright at Fifty'. I agree that people like stats and I enjoy these lists. I look forward to tracking down the Fulbright/Nobel Prize winners list!
