Foreign Students Yesterday, World Leaders Today

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!
