In March 2025, dozens of Switzer Fellows convened in Puerto Rico, to create authentic, supportive connections between fellows across cohorts, geographies, and expertise, while encouraging shared learning, respectful engagement, and meaningful interaction with the people, place, and environment of Puerto Rico. Planning grounded in shared leadership and purpose led to a deeply meaningful and connective gathering. Here we share learnings from crafting this celebration, highlights from the weekend, and reflections from participants.
