2019 Bloomberg Harvard Summer Fellows Blog
The Bloomberg Harvard City Leadership Initiative sent 21 Harvard graduate students to cities in the United States, Canada, Finland, and the United Kingdom. These Summer Fellows worked for 10 weeks on issues of importance to the mayors of their cities—from blight remediation, to minority-owned businesses, to transportation, to harm reduction sites.
The students chronicled their fellowship experiences. Here, in their own words, are some of their stories.
