Ten Inspiring Scholars to Celebrate the 10th Anniversary of IIE’s Scholar Rescue Fund: Scholar from Colombia

To mark its 10th anniversary, IIE's Scholar Rescue Fund (SRF) is featuring the inspiring stories of 10 threatened scholars whose lives and academic work have been saved by the Fund. 

Professor Daniel Coronell, a renowned journalist from Colombia, received death threats for his reports linking Colombian drug traffickers, local self-defense forces and government officials. His SRF fellowship allowed him to pursue research on the origins of political violence in Colombia at the University of California, Berkeley. Now Senior Vice President and Executive News Director at Univision, he continues to report and research in the United States.
