“I have been so impressed with the students in the S J Levy program. I hope that I have been helpful to them but I can say for sure that I have learned a great deal from each of them about drive and grit and determination. They are a wonderful group and I feel quite lucky in having the chance to help where I can.”

“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!”

“Serving as a mentor in the S J Levy Fellowship has been an absolute privilege for me. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed meeting students from such diverse backgrounds and with such a wide array of career interests.”

“The S Jay Levy Fellowship is a practical way to prepare top students for success in their field of choice. Mentoring these incredible and ambitious students has been an absolute pleasure. The success of these fellows is indicative of the hands on approach that the program takes in preparing these students in their career journeys. It has been incredible to be a part of their growth!”

“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.”
