Over the decades since LSE’s founding, world leaders and politicians from LSE’s alumni community have championed positive change by raising awareness, mobilising support and driving policy change to address pressing societal challenges. As advocates for social justice, economic growth and environmental sustainability, these political heavyweights have transformed countries, continents and institutions through their governance and leadership.

Here are a few LSE alumni who have made or are making a difference through global leadership and as a political force for change and good:

The alumni above are a only a handful of the many LSE alumni who have and continue to impact our world. The LSE Alumni Shaping the World special report formed part of the 2023 People and Change LSE Festival. A selection of our alumni were featured in a special exhibition: People and Change: LSE Alumni Shaping the World and many of those featured were chosen by faculty and staff across LSE.

Supporting the next generation of LSE leaders through scholarships

At LSE our mission depends on welcoming the most talented students, regardless of background. Today, that mission is under threat. Rising demand for scholarships, economic uncertainty, and global instability are putting access to an LSE education for many at risk – just when the world needs a diversity of ideas and perspectives the most.
