Presidential Conversation

Saturday, October 21, 2023 | 10:00 am - 11:30 am

Phi Beta Kappa (PBK) Memorial Hall

Join President Katherine A. Rowe for a conversation with acclaimed actor Glenn Close ’74, D.A. ’89, H.F. ’19. Close will discuss her journey to center stage from William & Mary, where she was a theater and anthropology major and performed in numerous productions. Today, almost one-third of all William & Mary students participate in the performing arts, whether as musicians or actors, as ensemble members or theatre production staff. As the university celebrates the Year of the Arts, Close and Rowe will explore the role performing arts play in the student experience as well as how the arts can help all of us better understand and navigate our world.

Coffee will be available from 9:30-10 a.m. in the atrium of Phi Beta Kappa Memorial Hall. 

Because seating is limited, registered guests must be in their seats by 9:45, at which time any remaining will be opened to those on the wait list on a first-come, first-served basis.

Please note this event is currently sold out but a recording will be available on the Homecoming website after the event. It will also be livestreamed to the Studio Theater in PBK, where seating will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
