In their words
"This fellowship has been life changing. It has changed my perspective on many aspects of life and I hope I can find work like it in the future. . . Week in Reviews were awesome to hear what all of the other Fellows were doing and to see how all of our work was linked under a common goal."
Impact
"I give Jeff two thumbs up! A bright, selfstarting, and personable student, he accomplished a great deal in his summer here, including a superb fact sheet on triple-bottom-line businesses in Buffalo, which we presented at a public forum. In two months, Jeff really contributed to PPG and to the community."
