Fletcher Day was a remarkable occasion that signified the 90th anniversary of our very first day of classes in 1933. This momentous event provided a unique opportunity for Fletcher alumni, students, faculty, and staff to come together and celebrate our shared connections while exploring new ways to engage with our global Fletcher community.To kick off the day, Dean Kelly Sims Gallagher and Professor Sulmaan Khan hosted a captivating live discussion in ASEAN featuring Former Ambassador to China Winston Lord (F60, H87) and current Ambassador Nicholas Burns, both participating via Zoom.
