Cisneros Research & Policy Colloquium on Education

Friday, February 20, 2026 9:00 am - 1:30 pm
Cisneros Research and Policy Colloquium on Education

Join the Cisneros Institute for the next event of the Cisneros Research and Policy Colloquia. This time we will be hosting a half-day summit at The George Washington University on current issues related to education.  

Panelists from the Center for American Progress, the Migration Policy Institute, the Aspen Institute, New America, the Brookings Institution, and the Presidents' Alliance on Higher Education and Immigration will join us to discuss recent policy shifts in K-12 and higher education and their intersections with larger issues such as immigration, research funding, and well-being.

As a research and leadership development institute, our goal through this series is to facilitate the dissemination of knowledge about the country’s most pressing issues while creating a space for students to engage with leaders across Washington, D.C.    

The draft agenda below will continue to be updated as we confirm final details. Lunch and refreshments provided.
