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 The Dispatch, Berkley Center Research Fellow Rev. Patrick Gilger, S.J., reflects on Pope Francis' leadership and memory, noting the challenges he faced throughout his papacy in balancing reform with tradition. Gilger also discussed these themes in an interview on Good Day Chicago shortly after Francis' passing. 

The Women Faith Leaders Fellowship (WFLF), hosted by the Georgetown University Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs, is working to create an environment where women faith leaders are positioned at the forefront of innovative and holistic development efforts to advance the well-being of women and girls.
