SEAS Alumni Host Dean Tong in New York and New Jersey

In early August, SEAS alumni and friends in the New York, Connecticut, and New Jersey areas gathered for two events: one on Long Island, and the other in Short Hills, New Jersey.

On August 1, Jon (BS '79) and Robyn Halpern hosted a gathering at Café Testarossa in Syosset, New York, and on the following day, John (MEA '78) and Sara O'Brien, hosted an event in their home in Short Hills, New Jersey. Approximately 40 SEAS alumni, parents, current and incoming students, and friends attended the events.

Everyone mixed and mingled at the two events, and alumni were glad to have the opportunity to meet each other and network. Dean Tong welcomed the incoming students who attended and met their parents and the parents of current students, as well. He then gave an update on GW and SEAS and their recent accomplishments.

Dean Tong and the SEAS advancement team hope to have more events like these in the New York Metropolitan area in the future.
