Fellow Fellows

I want to use this blog post to give a brief shout-out to my fellow New York fellows, because they are really awesome and deserving of it! As Julie mentioned in her below blog post, it has been so nice to have a pre-established group with which to experience fun city things. Everyone is incredibly friendly (I guess that goes to show the kind of people who are interested in pursuing nonprofit careers!), and everyone is extremely dedicated to the program. For instance, Avion, who is one of the fellows at Association to Benefit Children, put a huge amount of effort into helping coordinate a very successful Career Night, during which we had the opportunity to speak with Princeton alums and other professionals connected to the AlumniCorps community who are working in education, healthcare, social enterprise, law, business, and more. Julie and Susanna have been doing a wonderful job planning fun activities for us as co-chairs of the Social Alumni Relations Committee--last week's comedy show was attended by most of the New York fellows and was hilarious! And Eleanor was key to helping secure Anne-Marie Slaughter as a speaker at our April seminar on her highly circulated article, "Why Women Still Can't Have It All." Clearly, I owe a lot to all of my fellow fellows for making this year such a well-rounded and valuable experience--thank you New York fellows!
