OUR EVENTS INCLUDE
MLEIP Board members, Stephanie Bergeron Perdue, L’Oreal Stepney, and Deb Mamula, recognize John Hall at MLEIP 2024 Conference.
John Hall, President and CEO of HARC, was recognized by the Mickey Leland Environmental Internship Corporation (MLEIC) at their annual internship conference on August 8, 2024. John is the founder of the Mickey Leland Environmental Internship Program (MLEIP), a nationally recognized program created in 1991 to honor the memory and legacy of U.S. Congressman Mickey Leland. For over three decades, the MLEIP has provided mentorship and guidance via paid internships to almost 3,000 college students, many of whom now occupy positions of impact and influence across the nation and the globe.
In the spirit of Congressman Leland, John Hall envisioned a world where rising leaders, primarily women and minorities from underserved communities, would be exposed to environmental stewardship and learn meaningful skills needed to launch their career and enact positive change. From this bold vision, the MLEIP was developed and has grown to serve three generations of talented students by bridging the gap between their college life and career journey.
