Alumna Joss Joins Bank of America’s Philanthropy Unit

Photo of Khadija El Karfi, 2021We’re delighted to share an update from Khadija Joss, an alumna of our PhD program in French, who began a new position in August as Vice President, Philanthropic Client Manager at Bank of America Private Bank. In this role, she works with the Charitable Gift Fund, the bank’s donor-advised fund, to support clients’ philanthropy and recommends grants to public charities.

Reflecting on her academic training and her current work, Khadija writes: “My academic background in the humanities taught me the importance of collective action and empathy in advancing ideas and causes that matter to people. In my current role, I have the privilege of helping individuals direct resources toward the issues and communities they care about most.

Congratulations to Khadija on this exciting new chapter!
