Homecoming
Join us October 14-16 for Family/Homecoming Weekend 2022!
Note: to protect the health of our students and faculty, we plan to host the majority of our festivities virtually this year, with two exceptions:
- We will host a Friday evening in-person gathering for those already in the DC area. (Special note to Fall 21/Spring 22 graduates: please do not plan on traveling to DC for this gathering. We will see you next year!)
- Family members of current DC students are invited to join us in person for all events.
If you are not able to attend but would like to make a gift to support SEGL, you can do that here (select “Homecoming 2022” or the area of your choice!). All gifts of $50 or above will receive a copy of keynote speaker Maggie Haberman’s upcoming book, Confidence Man.
