The Fellows Program in Public Affairs finished up 2024 with a creative, playful, and impactful Communications Week. Each Fellow was assigned a confidential assignment related to different forms of communication and had to present them to the cohort. The week took them to museums, schools, libraries, and more across four boroughs. It was a wonderful way to send them off on break until they return for their nonprofit/philanthropy field placements! 

Coro New York had the pleasure of hosting Karp Strategies earlier this week to discuss their interpersonal leadership styles with Garrett Lucien MBA as the facilitator!

Thank you to our LNY alumna, Rebecca Karp, for trusting us with your team!
