Fall Mentorship Reception

December 2, 2025

At the Fall Mentorship Reception, Moynihan Public Service Fellows had the privilege of engaging with a group of nine accomplished professionals representing diverse fields including policy, journalism, human rights, and civic leadership.

Throughout the afternoon, mentors shared valuable insights into their careers, organizations, and personal experiences. Undergraduate fellows had the opportunity to dive deeper into topics of interest, pose thoughtful questions, exchange contact information, and reflect on their own future career paths. The reception fostered genuine connections and a collegial environment full of rich discussions. 

We are deeply grateful to the mentors listed below, whose guidance and presence made this experience possible: 

  • Francis Barry, Moynihan Distinguished Practitioner
  • Cheyanne Deopersaud, Next100 Policy Fellow
  • Jennifer Estrada, Community Program Manager at Amnesty International USA
  • Derrell Frazier, Next100 Policy Fellow
  • Jashawn Frederick, Director of Strategic Planning Operations at NYC Campaign Finance Board
  • Laurence Pevsner, Partner, Research at Lux Capital
  • Harry Siegel, Moynihan Public Scholar
  • Alphonso Christian Smith, NYC Commission on Human Rights
  • Adana Wright, Chief of Policy and Strategic Learning, Commission on Gender Equity, Office of the Mayor of New York City
