Alumni Update:

Camille is currently living and working in New York City. She moved here directly following the conclusion of her fellowship and began working as an investigator at Brooklyn Defender Services (BDS), a progressive, holistic public defender’s office that defends low-income Brooklyn residents accused of crimes. Working as an investigator at BDS has opened her eyes to the serious defects of our criminal justice system, notably its cyclical nature. Public defense and prison reform here in the United States are two topics that will undoubtedly steer where she goes in the next few years.

John graduated with a BA in Business Administration from the Organization and Innovation Management program. From New Jersey, John’s transfer from a community college to Colorado State marked his change in career direction. Discovering his love for community involvement, John quickly immersed himself supervising an after-school program for low income families and volunteering as the lead student organizer for Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign. Through his innovation-centric courses, John worked on projects for a local, socially conscious small business, Zero Hero, and an international NGO, Outreach Uganda. It was during this time that John realized his passion for work in developing countries: improving access to education, developing income generating activities to strengthen communities and encouraging a healthier lifestyle through innovation and shared responsibility. In 2012 John worked as a marketing intern for the Ah Haa School for the Arts and then moved to Ghana to volunteer and work as a project manager for Cheerful Hearts Foundation’s End Child Labour & Trafficking Project. He is excited to move back to Ghana and experience how the private sector can help achieve the regions development goals.
