At the start of our fellowship year, none of us would have claimed to know exactly what the year had in store—but we had guesses, as well as stories from the previous cohort to inform our own expectations. It’s probably safe to say nobody predicted that a global pandemic would be a significant part of our experience.
In spite of COVID-19, though, the past year was filled with professional growth, personal breakthroughs, and meaningful connections. Our cohort has pulled together this collection of journal entries to share some of the most memorable moments we’ve had as Impact Fellows.
No doubt your fellowship year will look much different from ours, and each of your individual experiences will differ from each other’s, but we hope that our stories can offer at least a little inspiration and reassurance. Whatever the rest of 2020—and 2021—throws at you, we’re pretty confident you have a lot to look forward to.
Sincerely,
2019-2020 Impact Fellows
