3. Meet Virtually with Your Peer Circle

Welcome to your new group of best friends! Peer Circles are designed to facilitate peer-to-peer learning and relationship building within a smaller group and will meet throughout your Pathfinder year. We’re asking you to meet virtually with your Peer Circle ahead of the 2021 Pathfinder First Meeting to introduce yourselves, pick a team name (that will outshine all other team names!), and to generally get to know each other. You will receive contact information for all of your Peer Circle members via email in late-March. The deadline to meet with your Peer Circle is Friday, April 30, 2021. For questions, please email Sarah Alexander, Pathfinder Program Manager.
