University of Vermont graduate student Christina Cramer (she/her) has been named the Spring 2022 Vermont Housing Fellow. The Vermont Housing Fellowship program is intended to provide the Fellow with valuable experience aiding her professional development. Cramer will receive a financial stipend to help VHFA’s housing research and its outreach for its upcoming Homeowner Assistance Program.
Cramer is pursuing a Masters of Education in Educational Leadership at the University of Vermont. She currently works in administration at the DREAM program in Winooski, a nonprofit that connects college students and children living in affordable housing to offer mentoring and academic support. She has a Bachelor of Arts in Public Policy and Business Studies at Bentley University.
The goal of the Vermont Housing Fellow program is to cultivate interest among graduate students in Vermont-based affordable housing careers with a specific goal of growing the diversity of experiences and perspectives used when thinking about the housing needs in Vermont. The program provides students in Vermont and beyond with the opportunity to relate knowledge gained in the classroom to practical, real-world settings. The Agency plans to appoint a new student to the fellowship each semester.
VHFA is currently accepting applications for the fellowship for the Summer semester of 2022. Please contact VHFA’s Human Resources Director Steve Gronlund ([email protected]) for more information. Candidates must be graduate students enrolled in an accredited program. Internship course credits may be available through his or her university or through the University of Vermont’s Public Administration program.
