Kheel Fellowship

A $450,000 gift from the Nurture Nature Foundation established the Theodore Kheel Fellowship in Transportation Policy at the Roosevelt House Public Policy Institute at Hunter College. Named for the legendary New York lawyer, labor mediator and environmentalist, the Kheel Fellow helps develop a transportation plan for New York that can serve as an international model.
