A senior transportation program leader at STV has been selected for a Harvard University fellowship focused on professionals shaping the built and natural environments.
Julia Campbell, PE, LEED AP, senior program manager at STV, will join the Class of 2027 Loeb Fellowship at Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design. She is one of 10 practitioners selected for the program, which brings together professionals working across infrastructure, design and related fields.
The Loeb Fellowship provides participants with access to resources at Harvard and MIT, along with opportunities to audit courses, work with faculty and students, attend seminars and participate in study tours. Fellows also collaborate with professionals from different disciplines.
For Campbell, the program provides an opportunity to examine challenges that extend beyond the technical delivery of infrastructure projects.
“The fellowship will give me the opportunity to examine some of the larger challenges facing professionals in the infrastructure industry,” Campbell said.
Campbell plans to examine approaches to project development, community engagement and collaboration, with particular interest in municipal infrastructure.
Campbell brings experience in transportation planning, policy and project delivery. Before joining STV, she served as deputy chief of streets for infrastructure and design for the City of Boston, overseeing capital and maintenance programs from design through construction.
Her career also includes work advancing mobility initiatives in Los Angeles and leading multidisciplinary teams focused on sustainable infrastructure solutions.
Her fellowship work will build on that experience by examining how communities can support infrastructure improvements and how public agencies can strengthen collaboration throughout project development.
“I am excited to build new relationships, skills, and ways of thinking during my time in the fellowship,” Campbell said. “My goal is to help communities come together to support infrastructure improvements that meaningfully enhance quality of life.”
Transportation and infrastructure projects increasingly require coordination among public agencies, technical teams and communities. Campbell’s fellowship will focus on approaches to engagement and project development that could inform how municipalities build support for infrastructure investments.
After completing the program, Campbell will join a global network of more than 450 Loeb Fellowship alumni.
