For three days in late October, the Fulbright community came home to Washington, DC. The Fulbright Association’s 49th Annual Conference, “Our Legacy, Our Future,” took place October 23 to 25, 2026 at the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg Center, hosted by the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS). It was a milestone gathering: 2026 marks the 80th anniversary of the Fulbright Program, launched by Senator J. William Fulbright in 1946.
The theme asked us to honor eight decades of exchange and to ask what the next eighty will require of us. Across plenaries, posters, roundtables, workshops, and countless hallway conversations, alumni, students, partners, and friends did exactly that. Here is a look back at what we heard, who we celebrated, and where we go next.
Friday: Celebrating Our People
The weekend began before the doors officially opened. On Friday morning, about 60 high school students from the DC area took part in a Fulbright Youth Summit, while 65 chapter leaders from across the country spent the day in the Chapter Workshop. By late afternoon the lobby was filling with old friends and first-time attendees. When Board Chair Leland Lazarus asked how many people were at their first conference, a surprising number of hands went up.
Welcome from Tammy Hettinger and Dean Steinberg
The Opening Plenary began with Executive Director Tammy Hettinger, who reflected on her first year with the Association. “Our greatest strength is our people,” she said, pointing to more than 455,000 Fulbright alumni worldwide and a network of 54 chapters led by more than 400 volunteers. She also celebrated the Fulbright Global Day of Service, led by board member Dr. Patrice Moulton, which brought together more than 2,100 participants across 35 countries.
Dean James Steinberg of Johns Hopkins SAIS welcomed the community to the Bloomberg Center. He noted that SAIS and the Fulbright Program are both entering their ninth decade, and that about a third of SAIS students come from outside the United States, which makes the partnership feel natural.
Leland Lazarus, in his final year as chair, spoke about a hard year defending the Fulbright Program and still declared that the community has “never been stronger.” He named three priorities: a hub for jobs for returning Fulbrighters, a platform for thought leadership, and a community committed to service. He also shared news that the board had just elected Dr. Patrice Moulton as its next president and chair.
Lifetime Achievement Award: Josh S. Weston
The 2026 Lifetime Achievement Award went to Josh S. Weston, the former chairman and CEO of Automatic Data Processing (ADP) and a lifelong champion of education and public service. Josh could not travel, so he sent a video message and his friend Donald Bowers accepted on his behalf.
In the video, Josh recalled that a mentor advised him to apply for a Fulbright to New Zealand because “no one knows where New Zealand is.” The year taught him how to talk with people he did not know and how to stay calm in unfamiliar places. Bowers added that Josh, now 97, led ADP to call its employees “associates,” has sponsored eight Afghan refugees over the past 12 years, and is writing a memoir titled Ordinary Life with Extraordinary Moments.
A New Honor: The Innovation in Education Award
Dr. Patrice Moulton introduced a brand-new honor, the Fulbright Association Innovation in Education Award, which recognizes organizations finding creative ways to advance international education. The inaugural recipient was INUNI Global, part of the Global University Systems education group, for making higher education accessible to talented students wherever they live. David Fisher and Denver Muirhead accepted. Fisher, who grew up in England hearing Senator Fulbright’s name in the news, called it an honor to receive the award in the program’s 80th year.
Chapter Awards
Tammy Hettinger and Fiona Breslin, the Association’s associate director for chapter relations and advocacy, recognized five exceptional chapters, one of them a shared award:
- Minnesota won Overall Excellence for packing tens of thousands of meals, hosting a research showcase, and opening their homes to traveling Fulbrighters.
- West and Mid-Michigan and Michigan Northwest Ohio shared Program of the Year for the Michigan Fulbright Symposium, with 30 presentations by Fulbrighters from more than 40 countries.
- Philadelphia/Delaware Valley won Excellence in Community Impact for bringing Fulbrighters into classrooms across Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
- Colorado won the advocacy award for mobilizing quickly when a proposal to eliminate Fulbright funding surfaced. The amendment was defeated.
- Mississippi won Emerging Excellence for growing from a single campus into a statewide community in one year.
Fireside Chat with Joon Silverstein
Roberto Rivera, Programs Committee co-chair and Board Secretary, introduced the evening’s fireside chat. Board member Sarah Happel interviewed Joon Silverstein, Chief Marketing Officer of Coach and a former Fulbright Fellow in France.
Joon traced a line from her Fulbright research on identity and culture among young North African women in Paris to a career in luxury fashion. The thread, she said, was curiosity about people. Growing up Korean American, she felt like an outsider, and that status became “my greatest superpower” in leadership. She described Coach’s aim to be “as globally common as possible, as locally different as needed,” named human judgment as the skill that will matter most in the age of AI, and said she finds hope in a generation that does not believe influence has to wait for a title. Fulbright’s mission matters more than ever, she said, because exchange “turns exposure into real understanding.”
The evening continued with the Opening Reception and the off-site Next Gen Reception.
Saturday Morning: Stories, Systems, and a Dance Lesson
Saturday opened with coffee and networking, then a full day in the first-floor Theater, with posters, roundtables, Learning Lab workshops, and the Career Center running alongside the plenaries upstairs.
Opening Keynote: Jim Sciutto
Leland Lazarus first thanked the team behind the scenes: Fiona Breslin, Jennifer Garry, and Bryce Moulton. He then welcomed Jim Sciutto, CNN’s Chief National Security Analyst and a Fulbright Fellow in Hong Kong from 1993 to 1994.
Sciutto searched for the right word for this community. “Club” wasn’t enough, and outsiders might say “cult,” but he settled on family: “kindred spirits with a curiosity about the world.” He told his own story with good humor. He applied to the Fulbright twice, and after his mother pushed him to try again, he faxed the second application from a hotel at the John Muir Trail trailhead. This time, as he put it, the committee “took a flier” on a 22-year-old with passion but little experience.
“Fulbright gave me my initial lifeboat overseas.”
Jim Sciutto, CNN Chief National Security Analyst
His project asked what the Tiananmen Square crackdown and the coming handover meant for Hong Kong, and whether “one country, two systems” would hold. He interviewed Hong Kong journalists, including Apple Daily publisher Jimmy Lai, and the research led to his first reporting job.
Three decades of reporting from Afghanistan, Iraq, the Middle East, and Ukraine, plus a stint as chief of staff to the U.S. ambassador to China, have convinced him that conflicts we cover one at a time are connected. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, he said, was “a 1939 moment,” a challenge to the world order. He returned to Jimmy Lai at the end, now imprisoned in Hong Kong, and closed by pointing to what Fulbrighters share: curiosity, a commitment to public service, and a belief in human rights and open societies. He recalled Senator Fulbright’s description of the program as “a modest program with an immodest aim.”
In a brief Q&A, he spoke about serving under Ambassador Gary Locke, including the day dissident Chen Guangcheng sought refuge in the U.S. Embassy in Beijing. Government, he said, is “imperfect people dealing with incomplete information, making the best decisions they can.”
The Fulbright Program and Its Histories
The first plenary looked back at the program itself. Moderated by Dr. Laurence Hare of the University of Arkansas, it brought together Terhi Mölsä of the Fulbright Finland Foundation, Edward Prados of Fulbright Jordan, and Hakan Tosuner of Fulbright Germany.
Architecting Internationalization 2030
The second plenary, sponsored by INUNI Global, started from a striking number: only about 3 percent of students study abroad, and half of those go to just seven host countries. Moderator Denver Muirhead asked how a university turns international ambition into partnerships that deliver academic value, financial sustainability, and lasting impact, with the goal of making that “exclusive club” a little bigger.
Gaganjot Kaur of INUNI Global walked through real models for transnational education, from pathway programs to public-private partnerships. Her bottom line: it is “not about taking your campuses abroad or getting more students. It’s about building access for those 97%.” Manos Kapterian of Oxford’s Saïd Business School urged institutions to separate what is core to their identity from what is merely customary: “Reach can be built relatively quickly, but trust can’t.” Angel Ahmed of GNET advised starting with a local strategic partner and building in phases, and noted that the heart of any such effort is “the acquisition of empathy.”
The Selma Jeanne Cohen Dance Lecture
Midday brought one of the most memorable sessions of the weekend. Roberto Rivera told how the Association found its performers: he got off at the wrong bus stop in Columbia Heights, wandered into a building with a dancer on its banner, and discovered the Dance Institute of Washington, whose executive director, Kahina Haynes, is a former Fulbright Scholar. Dancers from the Institute opened the session with a beautiful performance, and Laurel Victoria Gray presented the award, honoring Selma Jeanne Cohen, the dance scholar whose endowment supports international dance scholarship.
The 2026 awardee, Dr. Mina Yang of Chung-Ang University in Seoul, studies how the Koryo saram, ethnic Koreans deported to Soviet Central Asia in 1937, carried their culture through exile in their bodies. She followed a single dance through what she called four bodies: the laboring body, the staged body, the diasporic body, and the transmitting body, “and that one is you.”
Then she invited the audience to stand and practice three basic movements of Korean dance: breath, a gentle shifting step, and the rise and fall of the shoulders. “Tradition is not preserved in amber,” she told us. “It is lived through bodies.” She closed with a dance of her own.
Saturday Afternoon: Rural Health, AI, Penn State, and STEM
Saturday afternoon moved from the community level to the frontier, with four plenaries that each asked how Fulbrighters turn what they know into something that helps people.
Advancing Health in Rural Communities Through Ecosystems
Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) brought a four-voice panel to the rural health plenary, moderated by Steve McKellips, vice provost for enrollment and student services. He was joined by Provost Darrin D’Agostino, Senior Vice President for Research Lance McMahon, and Patricia Cuff, Forum Director of the National Academies’ Global Forum on Innovation in Health Professional Education.
TTUHSC serves West Texas, a region covering roughly 54 percent of the state’s landmass and about 37 percent of its population across 123 counties. The panel’s central argument was that rural health is an ecosystem, not just a hospital or a shortage of physicians. It depends on nurses, pharmacists, veterinarians, engineers, communicators, and community members who decide whether a program earns trust. As one panelist put it, it will take all of us.
The examples were concrete: a disaster-day simulation after the Amarillo wildfires that brings every discipline, including the veterinary school, into one scenario; a Philippines model in which communities select the people who train as health professionals; and a Syracuse lead-poisoning project built on community-based participatory research, where trust is built slowly. The stakes were plain. Counties north of Amarillo have life expectancy roughly 14 to 17 years lower than counties north of Dallas. The panel pointed to tools that could narrow that gap, including drones that move organs for transplant, mobile robotic surgical first-assist, and clinical trials brought to rural communities.
AI in Practice: Navigating Opportunities and Shaping What’s Next
The AI in Practice plenary was moderated by Dr. Emmanuel Dorley of the University of Florida, who also co-chaired the conference planning committee. His panelists were Martin Basiri of Passage, Amanda Levay of Redactable, and Raymond Gonzalez of Meta.
The conversation began with a simple explanation of large language models as pattern learners, much like a toddler absorbing language. Martin pointed to the prospect of a $100 tablet carrying a capable tutor to a child anywhere, while the panel was candid that the short term is uncertain and higher education will produce winners and losers. The durable skill, several speakers agreed, is learning how to learn. Amanda spoke about why redaction and enterprise-grade contracts matter when organizations put sensitive data into AI systems, and the panel discussed hiring, access, and AI as a tool for peace.
The most memorable image came from a training-wheels bicycle analogy: research suggests students who receive hints build critical thinking, while students handed answers tend not to. Dr. Dorley closed by saying he hoped the panel had moved the audience toward the middle, away from both hype and dread.
Penn State and Fulbright: Innovation for Community Impact
The Penn State plenary was moderated by Jody Pritt, interim vice provost of Penn State Global, who stepped in for Josh Davis. The first Penn State Fulbright dates to 1953, and the university was the top producer of Fulbright U.S. Student awards from 2019 through 2024 and a Fulbright champion in 2025. Four alumni showed what that looks like in practice:
- Dario Zimmerschied earned a PhD in aerospace engineering in Germany, completed a Penn State master’s in 2022, and started a startup accelerator in Stuttgart.
- Karly Feinberg, an English Teaching Assistant in Bogotá in 2019 and 2020, now leads a Spanish-language business accelerator with the Baltimore County Public Library that serves more than 100 people.
- Dr. Carter Hunt described his Galápagos work with the Charles Darwin Foundation, including alumni tours and the $25 million Galápagos Life Fund.
- Pearl Gluck, the first Fulbright scholar to Hungary in 1996, turned that trip into a documentary and now leads a film festival and embedded spring-break film programs.
Their closing message was simple: a Fulbright is an incredible opportunity, and it pays dividends.
Fulbrighters in STEM
The last plenary of the afternoon was moderated by Dr. Michael Malinowski, a vascular surgeon and the Association’s Vice Chair. He opened with the Fulbright record in numbers: 63 Nobel laureates, 83 MacArthur Fellows, 44 heads of state, 94 Pulitzer Prize winners, 51 National Book Award winners, and eight Fields Medalists. His framing was that STEM is closer to rugby than to a solo sport.
Dr. Oscar Barton of Morgan State University spoke about bringing ABET accreditation to a first French engineering program and a U.S. gap of roughly 900,000 open engineering and computer science jobs against fewer than 100,000 graduates. Dr. Ellen Roche of MIT described her lab’s soft robotic heart sleeve, diaphragm-assist device, and patient-specific valve simulators, with four Fulbright students on her team. Dr. Anand Reddi of BeOne Medicine joined by video and traced his path to a 2005 Fulbright on HIV in South Africa, and offered the line that innovation, like disease, has no borders. Dr. Albert Manero of the University of Central Florida, whose Fulbright took him to the German Aerospace Center, described bionic arms for children with hardware costing roughly $1,000 to $1,500. His summary was that research is a team sport, and he passed a prosthetic arm through the audience so people could hold it.
Saturday Evening: Senator Fulbright’s Legacy with Julia Foote LeStage
The main stage program on Saturday closed with a Closing Fireside Chat and one of the most personal moments of the weekend. Julia Foote LeStage, the granddaughter of Senator J. William Fulbright, spoke on her own and began by saying she was there representing her family: a Fulbrighter, as she put it, by birth rather than by study.
Julia studied at Oxford, as her grandfather had, and built a career in UK television. She offered the private side of the man her family called Senator Pop Up, a name her father gave him with a little irreverence. Thirty years ago she flew in from the UK for his memorial service, woke jet-lagged in the middle of the night, and found her father, Edward T. Foote II, then president of the University of Miami, pacing a hallway. He was preparing the family’s eulogy for Washington National Cathedral, to be delivered on the same day President Clinton gave the public one. She suggested they practice, and they did, right there in the hallway. She had found the original pages only a week earlier, she said, when they fell out of a box while she was packing up a house in London.
She then read the eulogy. What came through was not the diplomat or committee chairman but the man his family knew: a husband devoted to his wife Betty for 53 years, a son of Fayetteville, Arkansas, who held court by the hotel pool during family reunions and went looking for the perfect tomato at the Saturday farmers’ market. He loved golf and gin rummy, suffered fools only barely, and preferred honesty to popularity while keeping it tempered with civility. He was a teacher at heart who enjoyed nothing more than talking with students, especially Fulbright students.
The final passage landed squarely on the room. Her father had written that it would please Senator Fulbright enormously to know so many Fulbright scholars were gathered, and that his work continues with them, with their dreams of a better world and their quest for tolerance as well as knowledge. When she finished, she asked the audience not to applaud for her, saying it was not about her.
Because the schedule was tight, the conversation moved to the lobby, where, as Leland Lazarus noted on Sunday morning, Julia stayed to talk with attendees one on one. She left them with a family joke: when her grandfather asked how her grades at Oxford were, she would answer that they were better than his had been.
Sunday: National Security, Scaling Solutions, and Opening Doors
Sunday began with three back-to-back plenaries, each tied to a question that matters well beyond our community: how do we keep the nation safe, how do we get good ideas to the places that need them, and who gets a seat in a classroom in the first place?
National Security in a Changing World
Leland Lazarus moderated the National Security panel himself, opening with Thursday night’s State Department reception for the Fulbright Program’s 80th anniversary at the U.S. Institute of Peace. A video message from Secretary Rubio there called the Fulbright Program a national strategic asset, a phrase Leland said he fully agrees with.
His panelists came to national security from different directions. Pamela Berkowsky of Blue Sapphire Strategies, a Fulbright alumna from Geneva, argued that climate is a direct national security issue. Nicole Yip of Anduril, a 2019 Fulbright in Panama, spoke about rebuilding U.S. manufacturing and shipbuilding capacity and a STEM talent pipeline that has to keep pace. Dr. Dan Kliman of the German Marshall Fund, a Fulbrighter in Japan, described Ukraine and China as a generational challenge and made the case for deterrence.
The Q&A covered language education and the Boren program, the lopsided student flows between the United States and China (roughly 300,000 Chinese students in the United States and fewer than 1,000 American students in China), and human oversight of AI in defense. On how to advocate for Fulbright, the panelists agreed that the elevator pitch should say it is not only an educational investment but a solid investment in our national security.
Leland closed with an announcement: the Association will launch the Fulbright National Security Collective, a consortium of Fulbright alumni working in the national security space, defined broadly enough to include AI and global health.
From Innovation to Impact: Scaling Solutions to Global Challenges
The Innovation to Impact plenary was moderated by Mark Grobmyer, chairman of the Global Solutions Institute, with Dr. Al Watkins, Maj. Gen. (Ret.) John F. Wharton, Carlos Perrone, Treasurer of the United Nations Secretariat, and Tammy Hettinger.
Mark framed the session with a story: the Club de Madrid, a group of former presidents and prime ministers, met with a group of pension and sovereign wealth funds and concluded that the world is not short of solutions to global problems but lacks a system for deploying them. Al, a former World Bank technology leader, described the gap as broken circuits: technology sits in one place, people who need it in another, and there is no conduit between them. His answer was curated matchmaking.
The Fulbright network is a natural channel. Mark relayed what a Vietnamese delegation told one summit: that about 60 percent of the government ministers in Vietnam are Fulbright alumni, which lets them assemble committees on energy, water, food, and health to evaluate new solutions. Major General Wharton spoke about giving back, soft power, and the “death valley” between a promising prototype and a fielded product. Tammy said the Association is engaging Fulbright commissions around the world as it prepares for its own 50th anniversary next year. The session ended with a concrete example, a company called Fluid Power whose technology can cut the cost of heating and cooling buildings by roughly 40 percent, and a question for the network: is this right for your country, and who do we call to deploy it?
Opening Doors Through Education
The third Sunday plenary was moderated by Angel Ahmed of GNET and centered on a story that made the room go quiet. Martin Basiri, founder of Passage, came to Canada from Iran to study at Waterloo on a $52,400 scholarship that changed his life. He went on to found a company he describes as the largest in the world helping students study abroad, and now has a new goal: educating one million people by 2030 through an evergreen scholarship fund. He is candid that the odds are long, at 10 to 15 percent, but argues the world should have 450 million people in higher education rather than 150 million.
Passage already works with students from Afghanistan and Africa through partners such as George Brown College in Toronto. His sister, Tara, who manages the Afghan program, joined the conversation along with a recent graduate in health information management who arrived from Afghanistan in August 2024 after attending a hidden school. Hearing from her directly was the point of the session. The audience followed with questions about volunteering, rural access to higher education, billionaire philanthropy, and the income gap that keeps students out of school.
Closing Plenary: A New Certificate and the Road to FACON27
We ended the conference with our partners at the Borough of Manhattan Community College, or BMCC, which will host FACON27 in New York City and which piloted something new with the Association this year: the Fulbright Association–BMCC Global Leadership and Diplomacy Certificate.
Tammy Hettinger and Sanjay Ramdath, BMCC’s vice president for enrollment management, hosted the session. The certificate was built with BMCC’s Office of Diplomatic Engagement and Training, led by Dr. Daniel H. Katz, and taught by board member Dr. Reynaldo Ortíz-Minaya of Howard University, the program’s first instructor. Members of the inaugural cohort came forward to receive their certificates. Sanjay shared that he and Tammy sketched the idea on a napkin at a restaurant and were graduating a cohort about eight months later.
BMCC’s president, Dr. Anthony E. Munroe, addressed the room. BMCC is the largest college in the CUNY system, with more than 23,000 degree-seeking students, and its community represents 173 countries. Its motto is “Start here. Go anywhere.” The college was one of only four institutions nationwide to receive a $1 million pledge award from the Council on International Educational Exchange, committing to send 1,000 students abroad by 2028, and nearly 600 have already gone. Dr. Munroe also described a nursing mission to Jamaica, a partnership with the London School of Economics (a first for a U.S. community college), and exploratory work in Ghana. For many students, he noted, the trip is a first passport.
Then came the news that carried the room into next year. FACON27, the Association’s 50th annual conference, will take place in New York City at BMCC. It will be the first time our conference has been held at a community college, and the goal is to double attendance. Before we closed, Tammy called Leland Lazarus to the stage to thank him for six years on the board, the last as chair, and for pushing us to be bolder this past year. His parting words were simple: until next year.
Beyond the Main Stage: Posters, Roundtables, the Learning Lab, and the Career Center
Much of what makes our conference ours happens outside the Theater. While the plenaries filled the first floor, the Bloomberg Center hummed on nearly every other floor with presentations, workshops, and conversations led by our members.
Posters and Roundtables
On the ninth floor, three poster sessions gave presenters 45 minutes at a time to talk through their work, with more than 50 posters in all. Topics ranged from cultural sustainability through the arts in Malaysia and generative AI and human knowing to airborne microplastics, women-led forest restoration in Sumatra, and AI-assisted permafrost monitoring. One poster looked at how a provincial high school in Bataan, Philippines, became an international exchange hub through Fulbright, and the Fulbright Association of Costa Rica presented its own legacy of collaboration across Central America.
On the fourth floor, four roundtable sessions with more than 50 tables put presenters in small-group discussion with attendees, from alumni pathways and K-12 classrooms to climate-resilient aquaponics and the future of transatlantic diplomacy. Dr. Michael Malinowski led a table on building stronger healthcare coalitions across medical professions, and Julia Foote LeStage led a Sunday table on her grandfather and the women who shaped his life and legacy. Practical advocacy was well represented too, including a roundtable on mobilizing alumni to advance international exchange.
The Learning Lab and the Career Center
On the eighth floor, the Learning Lab hosted hands-on workshops for about 30 people at a time. Fiona Breslin ran Advocacy 101, and Patrice Moulton led sessions on sustainable work and on designing local service projects. Other sessions covered AI-powered research tools with ScholarsEdge, teaching to different learning styles with Fusion Education Group, the Congressional International Exchanges Caucus, and telling the Fulbright story with the Institute of International Education.
The tenth floor Career Center, designed for students and emerging professionals, offered recruiter talks, resume reviews, and career pivots. Sessions included the International Career Advancement Program, Harvard Kennedy School’s Office of Career Advancement, Kristen Hecht of TechChange on careers in international development, and Lin Shi of LinkedIn on connecting skills and purpose in a changing world of work.
History and Connection
The University of Arkansas Special Collections brought an 80th anniversary exhibit to the ninth floor, featuring archives that include Senator Fulbright’s papers. And the schedule left room for the connections people tell us they value most: the Opening Reception on Friday, lunch with chapter and interest group meetups on Saturday, networking breaks sponsored by Fulbright Hungary, and, on Sunday, an invitation-only 1946 Society lunch off-site.
Thank You, and What Comes Next
No conference happens because of one organization. We are grateful to Johns Hopkins SAIS and Dean James Steinberg for hosting us in the year the Fulbright Program turned 80. We also thank the 25 peer reviewers who read this year’s proposals, and the presenters whose posters, roundtables, and workshops filled the building.
The weekend was built by volunteers and staff. Our conference planning committee, co-chaired by Roberto Rivera and Emmanuel Dorley, shaped the program over many months. Our Youth Summit committee, co-chaired by Wen-kuni Céant and Leland Lazarus, brought nearly 60 high school students into the conversation. Our board, led this past year by Leland Lazarus, gave their time and judgment, and we welcome Patrice Moulton as our next president and chair. And our staff, Tammy Hettinger, Fiona Breslin, Jennifer Garry, and Munir Sayegh, deserve a heartfelt thank you.
We also recognize the donors who gave in honor of the Fulbright Program’s 80th anniversary. Since 1946, the program has supported more than 400,000 academic and professional exchanges across 162 countries, and every gift helps carry that work forward. If you did not give this fall, you can still make an anniversary gift.
Looking Ahead
Our partnership with BMCC is just starting, and both partners spoke about expanding the Global Leadership and Diplomacy Certificate. And most immediately, plan to join us in New York City for FACON27, the Association’s 50th annual conference. Our goal is to double attendance, and we would love for you to be part of it.
To everyone who traveled to Washington, whether from a few blocks away or from another continent: thank you for bringing your curiosity, your stories, and your generosity. Our legacy is eighty years in the making, and our future is in your hands. Until next year.
Thank You to Our Sponsors
