Congratulations Carlene Nelson MPA ’27 on being named a 2026 Fellow on Immigrant Integration by the Rockefeller Institute of Government (@RockefellerInst). The four-month fellowship engages graduate students in multidisciplinary research designed to identify inclusive models of immigrant integration and to support evidence-based policies that enhance equitable opportunity and community cohesion. “New York has always been a place where immigrants have found educational and economic opportunity—and SIPA students are uniquely positioned to contribute to this work. Carlene exemplifies the kind of scholar-practitioner we aim to develop: someone who combines policy analysis with deep community engagement to advance solutions that strengthen our city and state.” — Dean Keren @YarhiMilo Learn more: sipa.columbia.edu/news/carlene-h…
