2022 West Coast Retreat
Join us in Tahoe City for fun, networking, and science talks!
Overview
Hertz Fellows will gather at Granlibakken in Tahoe City, California, for the annual west coast retreat to collaborate with each other and hear from guest speakers on key issues in science and technology. This event, held annually in the fall in past years, hasn't occurred since 2019. We're delighted to welcome in-school fellows and those three years out from their fellowship to join this event.
Safety is a priority, and we are committed to ensuring necessary COVID-19 safety measures are in place. Vaccination is required for attendance at this event. We will continue to monitor the situation and share additional guidance with registrants.
