Now the two alumni are furthering their education after being named 2013 : Hall in land use and transportation planning, Ohlson in industrial policy. The competitive fellowship (only 19 were selected nationwide) is meant to strengthen transatlantic relations for a new generation of American leaders. The fellows spend a year in Germany, immersed in the culture, as they enhance their perspectives in their respective fields.
