Guadalupe '26 named 2027 Eisenhower Global Scholar to study at Oxford
Two emerging American leaders in diplomacy and cybersecurity will pursue graduate studies in public policy at the University of Oxford
PHILADELPHIA, June 10, 2026 – Eisenhower Fellowships (EF) has selected two exceptional young American college graduates for its 2027 Global Scholars Program, a unique opportunity for a year of postgraduate study at the University of Oxford to prepare them to confront complex global challenges.
The 2027 Eisenhower Global Scholars are Ander Laresgoiti, an alumni of Boston University, and Samuel Guadalupe, a recent graduate of the United States Naval Academy. Both will pursue a Master of Public Policy degree at Oxford’s Blavatnik School of Government.
Guadalupe, 23, earned a Bachelor of Science degree with a near-perfect academic record at the U.S. Naval Academy in 2026, where he served in several student leadership roles. Guadalupe led teams responsible for the training, welfare and academic performance of hundreds of midshipmen, including serving as Battalion Commander and Operations Officer during the academy’s Plebe Summer program. He also interned with Marine Force Cyber Command and participated in cybersecurity-focused training in Taiwan, deepening his interest in cyber operations and emerging technologies.
