Impact Investment Fellow

Do you believe students have a lot to contribute to the ongoing discourse regarding the climate crisis and social justice?

Are you passionate about building research projects from scratch and growing ideas into disruptive change?

Are you looking to engage with administrators and make a difference on campus and beyond?

Are you hoping to gain skills that will impact your own career development?

Do you enjoy teaming up with your fellow students to brainstorm and solve problems beyond the classroom?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, we invite you to apply to be an Impact Investment Fellow!

Oberlin’s Impact Investment fellows are student representatives on the college’s Impact Investment Advisory Group (IIAG). Composed of students, faculty, and administrators, the IIAG was created in 2022 to serve an advisory role to the college’s Investment Committee. Since then, the group has conducted research projects in impact investment related to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues. The Impact Investment fellows will conduct research related to impact investment trends in the endowment management space, connect the trends with Oberlin’s strategies and policies, and make novel recommendations to the Board of Trustees’ Investment Committee. The fellows will also support the IIAG’s efforts to bridge the communication barrier between the impact initiatives of the endowment and stakeholder engagement.
