There is no place like HKS and in a way it will always feel like home. The Luksic Fellowship enabled me to have this wonderful experience that has upgraded my professional development and expanded my horizons.”

The two years I spent at Harvard Kennedy School were the two best years of my life.

Since the moment I entered HKS and had my first coffee at the HKS cafeteria with other students, I felt like I belonged with that group of people. Both students and professors were driven to make the world a better place, because we knew everyone can make a difference. Each student had a cause that was worth fighting for. Whether it was education, health policy, cyber security, politics or microloans, each of us had a vision about what can be done in the world, what changes could be introduced trough public policy measures to make life better especially for underprivileged citizens, and what was necessary to provide decent human living conditions around the globe. The professors were great, first-class professionals with practical experienced professionals and top academics that were always ready to encourage students to discuss and develop ideas.

There is no place like HKS and in a way it will always feel like home. The Luksic Fellowship enabled me to have this wonderful experience that has upgraded my professional development and expanded my horizons.  Since then, I have leveraged my education at Harvard to develop my career in public service in Croatia mainly in the Ministry of Finance and I have dedicated my professional life to develop this field.
