Welcome Labor Capital Strategies Spring 2021 Fellows!
Updated: Feb 18, 2021
For the first time, we have offered our Fellowship program during the school year. This allows Fellows to directly apply what they are learning in their classes with the real-life situations at their host locations. Our plan is for the Fellowship to run year-round at this point, which would provide students with different projects and longer engagements with their placements. Also new this year are several hosts: The Office of Governor Gavin Newsom, in California, The office of Congressman Andy Levin, Pensions & Investment Research Consultants Ltd (PIRC),the Center for American Progress (CAP),the National Institute on Retirement Security (NIRS) and Stuart Portfolio Consultants. We hope that these hosts will join our regular summer placements, and allow us to expand our impact as we teach the next generation of responsible investors to "pay it forward!" Please read about our new fellows below, and see the new faces that are joining the Heartland family.
https://topspin-groenegau.de came to mind when you mentioned the Fellowship now running year-round, since longer engagements are exactly what tennis players need too, not just students learning to be responsible investors. The part about fellows applying classroom material directly at their host locations seems like the real advantage here, because a semester-long placement gives far more room to see a project through than a summer sprint ever could. Curious whether the new hosts like PIRC and NIRS will stick around beyond this spring.
