What is Scholar's Day?

Scholar's Day is NSHSS's signature event! Over the years, NSHSS has hosted thousands of members, families, partners, and friends at Scholar's Day events in Washington, D.C., and Atlanta, GA. The first Scholar's Day was held in the US Senate🏛️ in 2004! Senator Ted Kennedy sponsored NSHSS for the event to be held in the historic caucus room. As NSHSS grew, more and more members wanted to attend, and we outgrew the caucus room and eventually the largest room in the Senate! Scholar's Day moved on to be hosted at Georgetown University, George Washington University, and then the Gaylord National Resort as it kept growing in size. Scholar's Day will be hosted this year at the prestigious Johns Hopkins University!
