Anders Hulleberg, Alexandra Kutler, Hilary Malson, and Sameer Rao will spend the next year working with social service agencies in Philadelphia.
Four recent Haverford graduates are among a group of 16 students from area colleges selected as Philly Fellows. Founded in 2006 by Haverford alumni Tim Ifill and Matt Joyce (both Class of 2003), the Philly Fellows program puts recent graduates of local colleges and universities to work at Philadelphia cultural, educational and social service agencies.
Anders Hulleberg, Alexandra Kutler, Hilary Malson, and Sameer Rao, all from the Haverford Class of 2011, will spend their year-long fellowships at a variety of nonprofit organizations in Philadelphia. In addition to their full-time positions in the city, the fellows will spend time in leadership and professional development training. AmeriCorps funding covers the Fellows' housing expenses, provides each with health insurance and transportation costs and pays for an education award when they complete the fellowship year.
