"A new conversation series connecting the George Washington University community with influential newsmakers and thought leaders will debut this spring at the School of Media and Public Affairs (SMPA), part of the Columbian College of Arts and Sciences.

Alumni Ted Segal, B.A. ’03, and Meredith Perla Segal, B.Accy. ’05, created the endowed fund to honor the contributions of former SMPA director Frank Sesno. These annual events aim to promote critical civil discourse, public understanding and the enrichment of student experiences at GW.

The series will examine trends in media, highlight compelling public figures and provide insightful analysis of current events, such as national elections and foreign policy."
