Harvard Kennedy School Rappaport Fellow, David Tisel.

By Robert Keane

David Tisel was among the 30 Rappaport Fellows celebrated at a special dinner at the Harvard Kennedy School that drew Massachusetts lawmakers and senior public officials.

The dinner highlighted the work this year’s Rappaport Fellows class performed in taking on local policy and legal issues while working at offices of local government. The Fellows worked on diverse issues ranging from transportation to opioid addiction to LGBT rights and were matched with mentors outside their offices who supported their professional development.
