Cross-Cohort Community Call

We’re excited to bring back this popular event for the second time! This community call will be an online curated networking event where you are set up with other Switzer Fellows for one-on-one and small group conversations based on similar interests. All Switzer Fellows are welcome. This is a fun opportunity to get to know fellows from different cohorts and geographies! Please register for the event here, and let us know what you’d like to connect with other Switzer Fellows about. Registration deadline: October 27th

What to expect

Participants in this curated networking forum will get to meet up to 10 other Switzer Fellows in one-on-one and small group chats. We intentionally set up your meetings so that you can have conversations of mutual interest, and orchestrate the event so that you’re done after an hour. Hopefully over the course of the event you think at least once “well, that conversation was too short!” and you follow up afterwards with your new connections.

We heard your feedback that the breakouts were too short, and we are trying out extending this event to 90 minutes. Please plan to attend for the whole session to help us plan accurate breakout pairings.

Considerations when registering

Pulling this event together takes significant amounts of staff time as we work to personally match individuals who have common interests. It can be very disruptive if folks who register unexpectedly do not attend as we have to rework the matches we have identified for you during the event in real time. We will check-in with those who registered at several points to make sure you are still able to attend, but we want to share this with you here so you are mindful of this when registering and adding this to your calendar. It’s also OK to register and then cancel – but please give us as much notice as possible so we can re-assign your 1-on-1s before the call.

The Switzer Network Code of Conduct establishes norms and expectations for participation in virtual and in-person communication, meetings, and events sponsored by the foundation. We expect all stakeholders to abide by this Code of Conduct while attending Switzer events.
