October 18, 2011

Venture for America is a new two-year fellowship program that places selected recent college graduates from the "top 30 national institutions" with start-up companies in "low-cost" cities such as Detroit, New Orleans or Providence, Yang said.

Yang revealed that about 50 percent of Harvard undergraduates pursue law school, medical school, finance or consulting internships or other offers from organizations such as Teach for America.
