An Invitation to Connect, Reflect, and Recharge

This special gathering is designed to bring together curious minds and community champions—from the academic, entrepreneurial, and civic worlds—for a day of camaraderie, conversation, and collective vision.

Whether you’re an alum of the University of Puerto Rico, a business leader, or someone who believes in Puerto Rico’s potential through science and education, you’re warmly invited to an event that blends relaxation with purpose.

What to Expect:

⛳ Morning to Afternoon:

Relax and enjoy a friendly round of golf at the picturesque Club Deportivo del Oeste. Whether you’re a seasoned golfer or simply seeking a fun and social experience, everyone is welcome. The first 30 golfers who express interest will be treated to a complimentary round. The remaining golfers will incur a $50 charge (paid at the location).

🍷 Evening Reception at Hoyo 19:

Gather at the Hoyo 19 Restaurant & Market for an informal and enjoyable experience. Savor delicious food, refreshing drinks, and engaging company as we foster meaningful conversations, spontaneous ideas, and new collaborations. While a limited menu and drinks will be provided for free, an open bar will be available for those who wish to indulge. If you’re not planning to join us for golf, don’t worry, you can still join us at the reception!

🎙 A Fireside Reflection:

Hear firsthand how your involvement can help build a more vibrant innovation ecosystem in Puerto Rico and elevate UPR toward becoming an research-intensive university.

🤝 Meaningful Connections:

Mingle with professionals, educators, alumni, and advocates who share a vision of progress, education, and local impact.

Why It Matters:

Behind every innovative institution is a community of believers—those who gather not just to share ideas, but to act on them. This event isn’t about formality or fanfare; it’s about building relationships and imagining new possibilities, one conversation at a time.

Join us for a day that balances leisure with legacy. Your presence is not just welcome—it’s essential.
