Current Duffy Fellows

Rhett Bailey

Rhett Bailey graduated from Fordham University’s Gabelli School of Business in May 2024 with a degree in Business Administration. A former collegiate tennis player, Rhett’s relationship with food has evolved from treating it as fuel to understanding it as one of life’s most meaningful ways of connecting with others. Through documentary filmmaking, he explores how gathering around the table can foster presence, deepen relationships, and remind us what it means to be human in an age of technological domination.

Jennifer Particelli is a licensed master social worker (LMSW) and a recent graduate of Fordham's Graduate School of Social Service. Her clinical work and broader interests center on the ways people navigate uncertainty, cultivate resilience, and find meaning and connection through life's transitions. Her Duffy Fellowship project, Grounded Spirit, explores how emerging adults ages 18 to 25 understand and experience spirituality, belonging, and meaning-making as they navigate the transition to adulthood. Drawing on personal narratives and storytelling, the project seeks to better understand the diverse ways young people find grounding amid change, loss, and shifting relationships.
