For these 11 couples GW provided more than just an education, it served as a launch pad for a long-term relationship. Whether they met through a mutual friend, on move-in day freshman year, in Colonial Cabinet, or in a class, each couple has an interesting story to share. We hope you enjoy our 2010 edition of Alumni Valentines!
