Yamil Manuelle Hern谩ndez Santos, 鈥�25, was selected as a Public Policy and International Affairs Program (PPIA) fellow and will participate in the organization鈥檚 Junior Summer Institute, a six-week fully funded summer program that prepares students for the field of public service. Hern谩ndez will attend the program at the University of Michigan鈥檚 Ford School of Public Policy.

鈥淭hrough the PPIA fellowship, I will learn about the processes of shaping policy for the greater good of society, which will help prepare me for graduate school, law school, and for working in the government,鈥� Hern谩ndez said. 鈥淭his fellowship represents all the hard work I have put into my education and the result of others鈥� support and trust in me. It will open many doors for me to grow as a person, as a scholar, and as a professional.鈥�

Loyola鈥檚 second Public Policy and International Affairs fellow, Hern谩ndez is majoring in global studies with minors in French, Latin American and Latino studies, and peace and justice studies. His interests include the intersectionality of culture, politics, economy, and international issues. Hern谩ndez is from Carolina, Puerto Rico.

鈥淎t Loyola, the global studies program has helped me look at the world with a complete understanding of our societies and the complexities of our cultures. This leads me to wanting to study how policy can shape better outcomes when we use it for better causes, like advocacy for equal rights,鈥� Hern谩ndez said. 鈥淚 will forever be grateful to my professors and friends for always encouraging me to do more.鈥�

As part of the fellowship, Hern谩ndez will receive a $5,000 scholarship if he pursues his master鈥檚 degree at one of the 50 graduate institutions in the Public Policy and International Affairs Program鈥檚 graduate school consortium.

Last year, Juan L贸pez, 鈥�24, was selected for the fellowship and attended the Junior Summer Institute at the University of Washington鈥檚 Daniel J. Evans School of Public Policy and Governance.
