On Oct. 6-8, Project Pengyou Leadership Fellows and Chapter Builders spanning every cohort since 2014 and from all corners of the U.S. came together for an inspiring weekend of leadership building and camaraderie. We’d also like to extend a big appreciation to Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) for being amazing hosts and to Abigail Washburn, Kaiser Kuo and Jeremy Goldkorn for calling in to share their wisdom with our next-gen leaders.
