Yale School of Management - Inclusive Growth Fellows Share Recommendations for Economic Development in New Haven

Students, faculty, and New Haven officials gathered at Evans Hall earlier this spring for a stakeholder meeting marking the conclusion of this year’s Inclusive Growth Fellowship, a program that pairs Yale SOM students with New Haven agencies to design economic development projects benefitting all local residents.

Created in 2024, the fellowship is SOM’s first contribution to the Center for Inclusive Growth, a historic partnership between Yale University and the City of New Haven that works to foster equitable development across the city. This year’s nine fellows, the second cohort to participate in the fellowship, worked with city officials in four groups to understand New Haven’s unique needs and make recommendations for improving infrastructure, housing, sustainability, and business practices within the city. During the final meeting, each group presented their recommendations and took questions from school and city leaders including SOM Dean Kerwin K. Charles and Justin Elicker ’10, the mayor of New Haven.
