Welcome to the Global Atlantic Fellow Community Call

Welcome to the Global Atlantic Fellow Community Call: Riding the Waves

The annual “Welcome to the Global Atlantic Fellow Community Call” is designed for graduating Atlantic Fellows for Equity in Brain Health to learn about opportunities in the alumni space and for all members of the Global Atlantic Fellows Alumni Community of GBHI to welcome the upcoming graduates into the lifelong community. Participants will hear from GBHI alumni, faculty, and staff and the Atlantic Institute to:

• Explore key ways to participate in the alumni community through opportunities from GBHI, our partners at the Atlantic Institute, and additional international partners. 

• Get Inspired from “Stories from the Field” about how Global 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 Global Atlantic Fellows community.
