overview
We are excited to announce the 2026 Hertz West Coast Retreat for in-school and early career Fellows within three years of completing their PhD, taking place Friday, April 17 – Sunday, April 19, 2026 in San Gregorio, California.
The annual retreats are a chance for Fellows to step away from the day-to-day, reconnect with our one-of-a-kind Hertz community, and share ideas and career reflections with a cross-disciplinary group of peers in a relaxed and inspiring environment.
For more information, please contact Aleza Stein, Community Program Manager, at aleza@hertzfoundation.org.
