If you can’t make it to campus in person, you can still stay connected with Simon through our interactive webinars and virtual events. From admissions tips and program reviews to faculty, student, and alumni discussions, we will provide you with an in-depth look at the Simon experience. Plus, attendees of our live sessions will receive an application fee waiver ($90 value).

Your presence, support, and engagement help foster richer dialogue and a more connected community. By attending, you demonstrate a commitment to learning, respect, and shared growth—all of which strengthen the University and move us toward a better future.
