Program History

Photo of 2014 SUSI participants

This is our fourteenth year of hosting a SUSI Leadership Institute and as a result we have made many wonderful friends in South Asia, North Africa, and Central Asia. We very much look forward to meeting you and learning more about you, your country and culture. You will have the opportunity to join the ranks of some very accomplished alums and network with other past program participants in the U.S. Department of State-sponsored exchange program alumni network. Consider that about 30% of the current world leaders have participated in programs such as these in the United States.
