People Come to Washington, D.C. for Many Reasons.
They come to explore the past and to chart new futures. They come to ask questions and to seek expert answers. They come to demand change and to be that change. They come to grow. They come to learn. They come to make history.
Our students come to GW for many of these same reasons. They come for once-in-a-lifetime internships, for diverse student groups, for passionate faculty, whose research pushes the boundaries of what's possible and shapes our nation's policy, for the opportunities to transform ideas into action.
They meet, and then exceed, service challenges from First Ladies of the United States.
They debate masterpieces in the galleries of world-class museums.
They conduct research alongside faculty who are shaping the world of tomorrow.
“I never imagined college would lead me to both the White House and the driver’s seat of an ambulance, but GW opened doors I didn’t know existed and helped shape who I am.”
