Annapolis Graduate Institute Campus Convening Weekend

The Annapolis Graduate Institute’s Fall 2025 Campus Convening Weekend will be held on Friday, September 26–Sunday, September 28. Attendance at two such weekends (or studying for at least one semester on-campus) is required for those completing the Low-Residency degree, and we envision the weekends as events for the entire Graduate Institute community. Academic and social activities are open to GI students, faculty, staff, and alumni unless otherwise indicated, and are planned to help us get to know one another as a community of learners–whether we are current students or alumni, whether we attend classes in-person or online. For more information or to RSVP please reach out to Assistant Director for Graduate Student Services, Kashya Boretsky at kashya.boretsky(at)sjc.edu.
