Jay Fellows
Meet Daniel Krupa, JHC’s 2022 Fellow from Pace University’s Law School
JHC is thrilled to welcome Daniel Krupa, its 2022 fellow through Pace University’s Elisabeth Haub School of Law. This is the first year JHC has partnered with Pace on the fellowship program.
Daniel is a rising 2L student at Pace, studying Environmental Law with an emphasis on land use and zoning. At the Jay Heritage Center, he is drafting an overview of the legislative history surrounding the Jay Estate from roughly the 1970s to the present day. This will serve as a living document to show how the Jay Heritage Center succeeded and continues to succeed in preserving the Jay Estate, as well as serve as a guide for other non-profits that may face similar land use challenges as they operate within public land.
The Jay Fellows program at JHC has expanded rapidly over the past several years. For the past two summers, JHC has welcomed graduate fellows from Columbia University, who spend several months working on historic preservation projects at JHC.
