Logan Bonn ’25 Named a Thomas R. Pickering Graduate Foreign Affairs Fellow
Logan Bonn '25, a global development major in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, is one of 45 students from a pool of 1,500 applicants across the United States named a 2025 Thomas R. Pickering Graduate Foreign Affairs Fellow. Bonn is the fourth Cornellian to be named a Pickering fellow within the last seven years.
The Thomas R. Pickering Graduate Foreign Affairs Fellowship is a merit and needs-based U.S. State Department program cooperatively administered by the Bureau of Global Talent Management and Howard University. The program provides financial assistance for graduate school, two summer internships and professional mentoring opportunities. Upon the completion of a graduate program, Bonn will enter the United States Foreign Service — serving in a U.S. embassy, consulate, or diplomatic mission around the globe.
“The Pickering Fellowship aligns perfectly with my interests, my skills, and my motivations,” Bonn said. “It allows me to do exactly what I want to do.”
