New World Social Innovation “Cheng” Fellowship
We congratulate Antón Castellanos Usigli (Cohort 6) on his Fellowship award with the Social Innovation and Change Initiative at the Kennedy School of Government.

The New World Social Innovation Fellowship is a rigorous co-curricular program for change-makers committed to addressing pressing social problems in new and creative ways. The Fellowship selects and supports students – known as Cheng Fellows – advancing progress on a social challenge through a project of their design. The 2020 Fellows represents students across five Harvard schools: HSPH, HBS, HGSE, HKS, and Harvard College.

As a Cheng Fellow, Antón will focus on expanding the online outreach project that he initiated while at Wyckoff Heights Medical Center in Brooklyn, NY to improve the sexual health of gay and bisexual men across the United States. Learn more about Antón and the work of the 2020 Cheng Fellows here. Zeenith Ebrahim, a member of Cohort 7 is a proud alumnus of the Fellowship program.

Summer Immersion Posts
Summer 2020 was certainly unlike any we have experienced in previous years. Impacted by a global pandemic that halted travel and relegated to remote work only, our students remained committed and resilient to their field immersion experience.
