On September 24, 2025, Upwardly Global brought together supporters, partners, and alumni at Tribeca 360° to celebrate 25 years of building brighter futures for immigrants and refugees across the U.S.

The evening was a powerful reflection of Upwardly Global’s mission and the community that makes it possible. Upwardly Global was honored to recognize two visionary leaders whose work uplifts immigrant voices in media: Mariana van Zeller and Marco Calvani.
