We are excited to announce the date for The Sesno Series, the inaugural event, which will take place in Jack Morton Auditorium on Thursday, September 28 at 6pm. Each of these exclusive GW events will give you the opportunity to engage with an influential guest who will discuss some of the toughest questions confronting our politics, our democracy, and our future - from inside and outside of politics and across ideologies.
