Fellowships offer practitioners opportunities to explore and immerse themselves in the academic environment through research and collaboration. The Loeb Fellowship has allowed individuals from diverse backgrounds and disciplines to come together and focus their efforts on creating pathways towards positive examples of social outcomes and equity. With over 100 candidates applying for this year's cohort, nine individuals were chosen.

• Pedro Gadanho (Director, Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology; Lisbon, Portugal)
• Elizabeth Kay Miller (Executive Director, Community Design Collaborative; Philadelphia, PA)
• Deborah Morris (Executive Director of Resiliency Policy, Planning, and Acquisitions, New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development; New York, NY)
• Eleni Myrivili (Deputy Mayor for Urban Nature, Resilience & Climate Change Adaptation, City of Athens; Athens, Greece)
• De Nichols (Social Impact Design Principal, Civic Creatives; St. Louis, MO)
• Wolfgang Rieder (Entrepreneur and Circular Economy Activist, Rieder Group; Salzburg, Austria)
• Andrew Salzberg (Head of Transportation Policy and Research, Uber; San Francisco, CA)
• Paloma Strelitz (Co-Founder and Partner, Assemble; London, UK)
• Michelle Joan Wilkinson (Museum Curator and Acting Associate Director for Curatorial Affairs, Smithsonian Institution National Museum of African American History and Culture; Washington, D.C.)

During their year-long residencies, all nine participants will spend their time immersed in both Harvard and MIT's campuses. In working with faculty, students, and peers from both sites, each fellow will partake in class audits, lectures, symposia, exhibitions, and conferences.

According to fellowship program curator John Peterson, "The Fellowship has an important role in the design world. In spite of the design profession's often indifference to its social consequence, for almost 50 years the Fellowship has steadfastly championed those who are shaping the built environment as significant players for positive social outcomes."
