To mark the Schar School’s 10th anniversary, we are convening a yearlong series of conversations and community gatherings that reflect our mission and impact. Join us throughout 2025 to reconnect with alumni, partners, and friends. Come share ideas, spark new collaborations, and celebrate what we’ve built together (and what comes next).
All events are in person unless otherwise noted.
Upcoming Event

Strategic Infrastructure and the Expanding Frontier for P3s: Airports, Shipbuilding, and Data Infrastructure
📅 April 15, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. | 📍 Mason Square, Van Metre Hall
This year’s Forum will explore how evolving economic and national security priorities are reshaping the landscape for infrastructure investment and delivery in the United States.
Across several sectors, the United States faces a new wave of infrastructure investment needs driven by technological change, national security considerations, and growing demand for energy and digital infrastructure. These pressures are beginning to test traditional institutional models for financing and delivering long-lived infrastructure. Click here to learn more and here to register.
