About the TSC DC Student Summit
The 2027 DC Student Summit will be held on March 8 – 12. The first two days of the annual DC Student Summit are held at One Dupont Circle. On the third day, students meet with congressional offices on Capitol Hill to share their experiences in higher education. We cap off the summit with a congressional reception, where students can network with staff and other higher education professionals.
Led by Today’s Students Coalition, LeadMN, and The Center for Higher Education Policy and Practice, summit attendees will have the opportunity to:
