Fellowship Alumni

Revson alumni wield wide-ranging influence and capacity in diverse fields. They work in the city’s non-profit and governmental agencies, in local grassroots groups and community-based organizations, in firehouses, courthouses and cultural institutions, in museums, newsrooms and classrooms, in cathedrals and mosques.

The Revson Fellowship supports a strong and active network of alumni. The vast majority of alumni works in New York City and continues to participate in the program, attending weekly dinner seminars and special events designed to explore urban issues and promote fellowship across cohorts.

Many alumni reflect on their Fellowship year as a turning point in their lives, their careers, and their approach to their work.

The affiliations listed below reflect Fellows’ professional positions at the time of acceptance into the Revson Fellowship.
