Princeton in Latin America (PiLA)

“Move to Latin America," they said... "It will be fun," they said… Look, we are the first to acknowledge that an international fellowship isn’t always smooth sailing—unexpected challenges, steep learning curves, and moments that push you out of your comfort zone are all part of the journey. But it’s these very moments that help you grow, adapt, and make the most of an experience that’s as rewarding as it is transformative. To all our incredible current and past PiLA Fellows: Keep paddling, stay open to the adventure, and remember—you’re stronger than the rapids! Are you ready for an adventure of a lifetime?
