Community Weekend 2026
Community Weekend 2026 will take place June 26–28, 2026, at Franklin & Marshall College. This year’s theme, Shaping a Legacy: Uniting Past, Present, and Future, is part of our yearlong Legacy Celebration, an opportunity to honor the people, milestones, and moments that have shaped the Lenfest Scholars story.
Throughout the weekend, Scholars, Alums, partners, and staff will come together to share experiences, strengthen connections across cohorts, and deepen a collective sense of belonging. As we celebrate over 20 years of impact, we also look ahead, considering the legacy each of us carries forward and the future we will shape together.

Community Weekend 2025
In 2025, Community Weekend was held at Gettysburg College and explored the theme “Building Balance: Strengthening Ourselves and Our Communities.”
Attendees came together to reflect on the balance between individual well-being and collective empowerment, exploring how to navigate challenges and thrive in our personal, academic, and professional lives.
