Congress Day 2023 will occur on April 24th between 8:45am and noon at the Hub Ballroom on the Fairfax Campus.

Activities in the front and rear of the Hub ballroom will include:

50 minute town halls with current and former congressional representatives discussing proposed bills for the 118th Congress; Special panel session on “Women in Politics”; Speed Roundtable discussions about legislation on key issues such as climate change, human rights, public safety, college affordability, and democracy.
