Hosted at the ĢƵ Memorial Chapel, Lewis’ visit was part of the Kerschner Family Series Global Leaders at ĢƵ, a featured event during ĢƵ’s annual Family Weekend, held Oct. 31–Nov. 2.
More than 60 students, faculty, and staff gathered last week in the Hall of Presidents for a meal and some serious conversations that likely would have never transpired without the event designed to bring together people from across campus who may rarely cross paths on a normal day.
Students with a total family income up to $175,000 will now attend ĢƵ tuition free, and those with family incomes of up to $200,000 will have their demonstrated aid need met without loans starting in the fall of 2026.
At an event in Chicago with alumni and friends, President Brian W. Casey announced ĢƵ’s commitment to establish a nonpartisan program for studying and practicing open inquiry, dialogue, and debate.
ĢƵ faculty, staff, and alumni regularly provide their expertise and contribute to national and regional media outlets shaping discussions around vital research and current events.
This year’s fellows are Class of 2025 graduates Paul Schulze, Jinting Guo, and Shanely Perez, along with Senior Residential Fellow Marissa Bordonaro ’24.
The events were in coordination with ĢƵ's Arts, Creativity, and Innovation Initiative, presented by Living Writers, University Museums, and the Ryan Family Film Series.
