Korbel Partners
Diplomat in Residence Program
Our Diplomats in Residence are comprised of U.S. Foreign Service Officers. They come to Korbel to provide guidance and advice on careers, internships and fellowships.
Internships, volunteer opportunities, research projects and community work all contribute to our Africa studies and initiatives. Find more information about our Africa Initiatives partner organizations below.
We partner with the Colorado Asylum Project, Center for Community Engagement to advance Scholarship & Learning and Rocky Mountain Immigration Advocacy Network to create opportunities for DU students to participate in human rights research.
The Korbel School is home to centers that invite scholars, researchers and practitioners from around the world to seek answers to pressing international questions. From exploring issues regarding China/U.S. relations to diplomacy in the Middle East to global human rights, our research institutes allow faculty, experts and students to collaborative on solutions to real-world problems.
