Berkley Center

Each year, the Berkley Center nominates one student for the prestigious Pulitzer Center International Reporting Fellowship. This year, Nicole Abudayeh (SFS'26) has been selected for that honor. Her reporting will focus on the role of faith-based social activism in protecting migrant populations from human trafficking in Ceuta, Spain. Nicole joins a global cohort of scholars who are working to uncover and amplify underreported stories that shape our world.  

The application for the 2025-2026 cohort of the Women Faith Leaders Fellowship is open to Catholic sisters from Sub-Saharan Africa who are actively engaged in religious and community service. The fellowship seeks applicants dedicated to the development of their communities and the empowerment of women and girls, in service to the common good. 

Graduate Fellow Nigel Li (G'25) gives his personal story as a Georgetown student who discovered an interest in international security and nuclear arms control through his classes and interactions with faculty and fellow students. 

In a recent U.S. Catholic article, Rev. Gerard J. McGlone, S.J., a research fellow at the Berkley Center, called for deeper structural reforms in the Catholic Church's response to clergy sexual abuse.
