“The Kreisman Fellowship at the Mansueto Institute deepened my expertise in a wide range of housing and community development issues and provided me with valuable professional development experiences. The opportunity to build relationships with students interested in housing and urban issues from across graduate programs was one of the highlights of my time at the University of Chicago.”
