Alumni. Ideas. Projects. Accomplishments.
In celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Belarus visitors Hana Harshakova and her dance partner Ihar Kisialiou, World Wheelchair Ballroom Dance champions, meet with and teach a Master Class for differently-abled youth and adults at the USF School of Theater and Dance.

National Public Radio recently published an interview with alum Umaru Fofana about his outstanding daily coverage of the Ebola crisis in Sierra Leone in 2014-15. Fofana is publisher of Politico, and he reports worldwide on radio, television, and wire reports for the BBC World Service and Reuters. Umaru was an IVLP "Edward R. Murrow Program for Journalists" participant in 2011.

In the words of NPR reporter Nurith Aizenman "...the most noticeable thing about Fofana was his passion for justice. Even smaller wrongs — a waitress at our hotel who had been made to work long hours without a break, for instance — would get him fired up. So when the Ebola virus began its deadly march through the country, Fofana was consumed with what he describes as an inexpressible anguish — and a compulsion to kick his journalism into overdrive."
