The 2022 ICGC Scholars, the 34th cohort, will be welcomed into the community in Fall 2022, with orientation during the last week of August.

The 10 new scholars—each from different departments within five colleges and schools at the UMN—come from countries including India, the United States, Mexico, Egypt, Afghanistan, Colombia, and Brazil. We are excited to bring their energy, knowledge and voices for issues of social justice and global change to the University of Minnesota.
