On the fellowship: “The fellowship was a great opportunity to connect with a wonderful community of people that have similar values around ethical leadership. I learned a lot about myself and also about others. The social impact project working on youth homelessness was very powerful, especially the weekend in Chicago where we participated in the Point-in-Time count and met with youth experiencing homelessness at a local nonprofit.”
