An Evening with St. Olaf in Washington D.C.
February 5
5:30 p.m. – Panel Discussion: What Makes St. Olaf a Dream School?
St. Olaf alumni and friends are invited to attend a panel discussion with New York Times bestselling author, journalist, and expert on higher education Jeff Selingo, author of Dream School: Finding the College That’s Right for You. St. Olaf is one of the 75 colleges and universities featured in the book. Dream School highlights “hidden-gem schools with incredible value and rich opportunities” and was selected by NPR as a Book We Love for 2025.
Jeff will be joined by two St. Olaf leaders – Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Tarshia Stanley and Professor and Associate Dean Diane LeBlanc – for a conversation about how St. Olaf and schools like it are providing a high-value education that is also affordable and accessible.
