Every time I interact with the students, I have confidence that these students are driven, hard working, and eager to learn. As our telehealth programs and services continue to expand, it’s been a pleasure to mentor and teach these students as they are crucial future leaders in their respective industries that they will soon enter. Our company looks forward every summer to work with these students and share our knowledge and expertise as subject matter experts in telehealth / telemedicine. The fellows always bring a fresh new perspective that is refreshing and delightful. We look forward to many more years and growth of our partnership.”

“The S Jay Levy Fellowship has been a truly life-changing experience for me, both personally and professionally. Through my internship with CUNY’s College and Career Bridge for All, I had the chance to explore my passion for higher education and discover my own strengths. The fellowship also taught me the importance of valuing my personal brand and not settling for less than I deserve. Whether it’s keeping my resume sharp or my LinkedIn up to date, I’ve learned that amazing opportunities can come when you least expect them. I am deeply thankful for the unwavering support, mentorship, and opportunities that the S Jay Levy Fellowship provided, and I know these experiences will continue to guide me in my career and beyond.”

“The mentorship, resources, and opportunities provided by the fellowship gave me the foundation to develop critical skills and professional connections.

“The S Jay Levy Fellowship played a pivotal role in teaching me how to network effectively and guiding me toward opportunities that helped shape my interests and career path in International Relations. Knowing my passion for working within the United Nations, my industry mentor, Jennifer Oldfield, was instrumental in offering invaluable insights and advice on this field of work. She nurtured my enthusiasm by introducing me to my first UNGA side events and connecting me with colleagues in both New York and Nairobi in this sector. During my summer internship with ReaMedica in Kenya, our paths crossed again when she was also in Nairobi for business, allowing us to connect globally—a truly memorable experience. The fellowship provided me with a mentor who not only extended our relationship beyond the program but also challenged and supported me in equal measure. Now, after graduation, I have come full circle, working with the UN Foundation as part of the Global Partnerships and Engagement team—a testament to the lasting impact of the fellowship.”

“The S Jay Levy Fellowship Program is a reminder that our future leaders all start from somewhere. These talented group of students already have the tools to succeed but adding the opportunity to polish their skills through 1:1 sessions with a mentor gives them a real world experience that would otherwise get overlooked in some classrooms. I’m excited that their journey starts at CCNY and I can’t wait to see where they go from here.”

“The S Jay Levy Fellowship’s itinerary was perfectly crafted to assist fellows in preparation for interviews, connected us with industry professionals, and aided us in our pursuit of career-focused internships. We had weekly seminars with industry professionals from various backgrounds that used real-life examples of obstacles they had to overcome in the workplace, giving us examples of how to overcome potential issues that we may face. This fellowship was quintessential in my early career development, teaching me invaluable lessons.”

“The most valuable component of the S Jay Levy Fellowship for me was the industry mentorship. Working closely with a mentor who had extensive experience in finance and economics opened my eyes to the various career paths within these fields. This mentorship provided not only professional insights but also personal guidance, helping me navigate my own ambitions in public service and law. Through regular conversations, I gained a clearer understanding of how economic policies impact society, reinforcing my desire to contribute meaningfully to these areas. The fellowship’s emphasis on mentorship, along with the relationships I built with peers, has been instrumental in shaping my professional path and personal growth”

“Best job I ever had? Being a mentor to hundreds of CCNY students over the past five years (in and outside of the SJ Levy Fellowship). Many of them are now advancing in their careers across the city’s ecosystem — in engineering, coding, digital advertising, finance, food, and real estate. Some of the first students I coached are now able to hire (and admire the work that remains to be done for) the next class of graduates. It’s a perfect circle!”

“Rentricity and more recently HydroCosm has participated in the S Jay Levy Fellowship program at CCNY for the past 5 years. During that time, we have benefitted from a number of students from the mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering programs. All students went above and beyond their summer internship requirements and in some cases provided surprisingly smart and articulate business logic, a big plus!. All energetic, eager to learn and with a desire to contribute value, we continue to support the program and hope to benefit from it in the years ahead.”
