OVERVIEW
As we wrap up our time together in Cambridge, this closing session invites us to reflect on the major takeaways from our shared experience. Together, we’ll surface what you’re most eager for and any lingering questions you still have as you move forward.

We’ll also co-create a vision for what you hope to see, learn, and benefit from in the next stages of your journey. This session will provide important reminders about what’s coming next and introduce you to our central home base for ongoing resources and reminders. Most importantly, we will take a moment to express gratitude and appreciation to our peers for the commitment, insight, and support shared this week and in all the work ahead.
