UWGI Builds Community

At the start of each year, there are multiple events held for the new fellows in order to welcome them into the program.

Throughout the year, the program directors host a bi-monthly breakfast meeting to get feedback on the program and work through any issues that arise.

Other favorite events include the Landmark Papers meeting, where a GI faculty member hosts a dinner at their home and moderates the discussion of a landmark research paper. GI fellows and faculty frequently socialize outside of work and participate in local events and fundraising activities.
