Jack Reardon 2026 fellow at The Provincetown Independent:
“I am so incredibly grateful for the alumni who helped to support my fellowship on Cape Cod this summer. The Harvard Club of Cape Cod fellowship offered me the financial flexibility to work for The Provincetown Independent. At The Independent, I worked on stories about housing, healthcare, and local finances. The staff pushed us to grow as reporters and always reminded us that thorough, thoughtful local reporting is vital to vibrant small-town communities like those on Cape Cod. The HCCC funding allowed me to afford the high summer prices on Cape Cod. It also gave me a remarkable learning experience and a truly unforgettable summer.”
Anna Popnikolova 2026 fellow at NPR WCAI:
“My summer internship with NPR was a remote job in which I wrote weekly scripts and conducted interviews reporting on news for the Cape & Islands on Nantucket. I learned how to condense stories for radio, what makes a good script, and why public radio is so important. I got to explore valuable questions about public media, trust, and creating news that our listeners can trust.”
Emma Vrabel 2025 fellow at the JFK Hyannis Museum:
“This summer I worked at the JFK Hyannis Museum to improve accessibility for all guests, but especially those with disabilities. My work was sponsored by the Harvard Club of Cape Cod. The work was rewarding, and the museum is a very special place.”
Grace Yoon 2025 fellow at the The Provincetown Independent:
“I worked as a reporter with The Provincetown Independent. I was able to write a range of stories from funding cuts, to ICE, to obituaries. It offered me the opportunity to attempt different kinds of reporting, get to know the Outer Cape and its people on a deeper level than I ever anticipated, and learn from mentors and peers that were all incredibly kind and always willing to help.”
