The Stevens Initiative

Today, we celebrated and our 10th anniversary in Morocco—a place of great meaning to Ambassador Stevens and our program. Morocco, one of America's oldest friends and the first nation to recognize the United States in 1777, is where the Stevens Initiative was announced. Our alumni joined U.S. Exchange alumni Exchange Programs - U.S. Department of State, American and Moroccan leaders, and fellow participants to build the global connections Ambassador Stevens valued—strengthening U.S.-MENA partnerships through engagement that will continue long after our time in Rabat.
