Fall 2022 YSEALI group at University of Nebraska Omaha

The Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative (YSEALI) Institute is eager to welcome 21 young leaders from 11 Southeast Asian countries to UNO on March 6. The YSEALI Fellows are part of an Academic Fellowship that develops leadership skills, through a civic engagement lens. The program also provides experiential learning opportunities to meet with community leaders, learn about civic work in the U.S., engage with local community organizations, while also visiting historical and cultural sites. UNO will welcome three groups of YSEALI Fellows during 2023.

Since 2015, International Programs has hosted the YSEALI Institute on Civic Engagement at UNO. This program has involved many units across campus and evolved over the years to adopt a hybrid program to ensure program continuity during the pandemic.

YSEALI is a really special opportunity. I think it’s been an experience where I’ve learned to build up my resilience in the face of adversity. I also think that through this opportunity that I’ve forged relationships that I would not have been able to forge without this program.

 Nurrisha Ismail Fakirra, a Fall 2022 Fellow from Singapore
There are many ways to get involved with the YSEALI program and other visiting international groups through International Programs. If you’re interested in getting involved with the YSEALI Institute on Civic Engagement at UNO, please reach out to Michael Butcher via email: michaelbutcher@unomaha.edu.
