Moynihan Center’s New York City Leader Jane Ekhtman awarded Henry J. Stern Scholarship
Addressing operational and quality of life issues within city government
Jane Ekhtman has been awarded the 2023 Henry J. Stern Scholarship. This scholarship is bestowed annually to students who exemplify outstanding academic performance (with a minimum GPA of 3.5) and demonstrate a deep commitment to and passion for city government. The Henry J. Stern Scholarship places a strong emphasis on candidates who show a genuine interest in addressing operational and quality of life issues within city government. Jane Ekhtman is an intern at the NYC Mayor's Office of Community Mental Health. Her involvement in the office's B-HEARD initiative, which dispatches mental health clinicians as first responders to non-violent mental health 911 calls, highlights her instrumental role in shaping compassionate and effective community care.
Moynihan Center's New York City Leaders Help Shape City Government Institutions
Ekhtman participated in the Moynihan Center’s New York City Leaders undergraduate fellowship. The New York City Leaders Fellowship prepares a diverse group of talented and motivated CCNY undergraduates for future leadership roles in New York City public service. Fellows take an intensive academic curriculum grounded in the liberal arts and the practical application of public service. New York City Leaders gain hands-on professional experience through fully-funded summer internships within one of the city’s administrative bodies or a relevant non-governmental organization devoted to public service at the city level.
