Forero Mejia Maria Cecilia is studying as part of the UC Davis Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program at the law school during the 2006-2007 academic year. Cecilia is from Colombia, where she studied law at the Universidad Libre Barranquilla. She received a master's degree in business law from the Universidad Francisco de Victoria in Madrid. Her research involves environmental regulations. While at the UC Davis School of Law, she will study liability and punitive damage compensation currently applied in the United States.

The Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program was initiated in 1978 by President Jimmy Carter to honor the late senator and vice president, a long-time advocate of international cooperation and understanding. The program brings accomplished mid-career professionals from designated countries of Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, the Middle East, Europe, and Eurasia to the United States for one year of non-degree graduate study and related practical professional experience. Fellowships are granted competitively to professional candidates with a commitment to public service in both the public and private sectors.
