Welcome to the Atlantic Fellows Alumni Community Call

Welcome to the Atlantic Fellows Alumni Community Call: Weaving Lifelong Connections

The annual Welcome to the Atlantic Fellows Alumni Community Call is designed primarily for graduating Atlantic Fellows for Equity in Brain Health to learn about opportunities in the alumni space. Additional guests including Atlantic Fellows alumni, faculty, and staff are invited to welcome the graduating cohort into the next chapter of their journey and to have a “refresh” about various opportunities in the alumni space.

Participants will hear from Atlantic Fellows alumni from GBHI, representatives from the Global Fellows Advisory Board (GFAB), key partners such as the Atlantic Institute and the Alzheimer’s Association, and GBHI team members to:

• Explore key ways to participate in the alumni community through opportunities from GBHI and some of our partners: the Atlantic Institute and the Alzheimer's Association.
• Get Inspired from “Stories from the Field” about how Atlantic Fellows have collaborated, raised awareness about brain health equity after completing their in-program experience, and tips they have for those starting their post-graduation journey.
• Understand the channels and platforms for connecting and communicating across the Atlantic Fellows Alumni community
• Engage the wider GBHI alumni community with a refresh of the opportunities open to them
