Over the past weekend, the 2016-2017 cohort of TGC fellows convened for a conference in our nation's capital. We discussed storytelling and cross-cultural communication strategies, we were introduced with prominent members of IREX and the US State Department, and we learned about the country where we will be traveling from a local resident and former fellows. Most fun of all, however, was the opportunity we had to meet the other fellows traveling to the same country as us, which for me is Senegal. There was also a little bit of down town time, which I promptly took advantage of to tour some of the city.
