From Southwestern University:
Prepare to be amazed by one of the most mesmerizing astronomical events – a total eclipse, right here in Georgetown! We are among an elite group of locations in the country positioned directly in the path of totality. This means you’ll have the chance to witness daytime turn to night as the moon completely covers the sun. Such an opportunity is rare, with the next one not expected for another 20 years, making this event truly a special experience.

Celebrate with Us at Southwestern
Southwestern University is thrilled to host the Total Eclipse Viewing Party on our scenic academic mall. Join us from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on April 8 for an unforgettable day.

Unparalleled Viewing Experience
