Santander Kicks Off 2025 Fellowship Cohort

By: Colin Powell School
Celebrating the 4th Santander cohort

The Colin Powell School recently celebrated the kick-off of its fourth cohort of Santander Finance Fellows from the Colin Powell School at CCNY. Eighteen top business and economics students will attend weekly on-site lectures at Santander’s U.S. headquarters, where senior corporate leaders share insights into the firm’s key business lines, operations, and sector impact. Each fellow is also paired with a Santander mentor, providing career coaching, professional development, and role modeling.

We are deeply grateful for Santander’s sponsorship of this signature program, and especially for the leadership of Marco Antonio Achón, Santander’s Global Head of Corporate Banking, Santander Corporate & Investment Banking and co-chair of the Powell School Board of Visitors, whose direct involvement makes this fellowship so impactful. Sincerest thanks also to Leah Daly, Head of Corporate Responsibility & Sustainability, EVP at Santander US; Graham Chapman, Director Strategic Programs, CSR at Santander US; and Loreto Fraile Delgado, VP, Marketing, Santander Corporate & Investment Banking; for their work to make this fellowship a sustained success.
