About the TSC DC Student Summit
The 2025 DC Student Summit will be held on March 16-18. The first two days will be at One Dupont Circle, and the third day will be on Capitol Hill, where students will meet with congressional offices to share their experiences in higher education. We cap off the summit with a congressional reception, where students will have the opportunity to network with congressional staff and other higher education professionals.
Led by the Today’s Students Coalition, summit attendees will have the opportunity to:
- Learn how to effectively share their stories with policymakers
- Hear about the most pressing issues in D.C. related to higher education
- Engage in conversations with dozens of congressional offices and representatives from both the legislative and executive branches of government during Hill day
- Attend a culminating reception on Capitol Hill to toast your time spent in Washington, D.C., learning promising practices for civic engagement
