New Haven, Conn. — Hrund Gunnsteinsdottir has been named a 2016 Yale World Fellow, one of only 16 people chosen for this prestigious global leadership development program at Yale University, one of the most elite universities in the U.S.

“I’m delighted to announce the 2016 cohort of Yale World Fellows,” said Emma Sky, director of Yale World Fellows. “They are wonderful sources of inspiration and mentors for Yale students,” she said.
An Austrian climate change expert, a Syrian human rights activist, a Chinese journalist and 13 other game-changing global leaders have been named 2016 Yale World Fellows.
