Meet our Alumni
Nicole Rodriguez, MPP'14, Research Director, New Jersey Policy Perspective
“When I was writing my policy reports and advocating at the Massachusetts State House, I had a jump-start because I had worked on these things in grad school. I actually used the reports I had written. It was a perfect transition into my professional policy life.”
Evan Hochberg, MMHS’96, President, Crown Family Philanthropies
“Heller helped me understand how you could make the world a better place by focusing on the intersection of strategy, management and policy. What I enjoyed the most was getting a hard business education in an environment where the professors, case studies and students were all focused on social impact. There was a whole ecosystem for people like me.”
Adeyemi Okunogbe, MS'12, Health Systems Specialist, RTI International
“When I came to Heller, my understanding and perspective on health was limited to diagnosing and treating human ailments. After I graduated, I had the framework and paradigms for thinking about health policy, global health and social justice.”
