“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.”

“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.”
