GW GEARS UP FOR STUDENT MOVE-IN
Students Scheduled to Arrive on Campus Beginning August 29

WASHINGTON – Move-in day for The George Washington University’s Foggy Bottom and Mount Vernon campuses kicks off August 29 to September 2, in preparations for the first day of classes, Tuesday, September 3. As in years past, GW continues to work to ensure a smooth move-in process.

“We’ve been holding move-in events for a long time and it’s become a science,” said Andrew Sonn, director of Housing Services at GW. “We stagger the times that students are scheduled to move into their residence halls to avoid log jams and work closely with University Police to maintain traffic flow. We expect that this year’s move-in event will be a huge success.”

During move-in, GW expects a significant increase in vehicular and pedestrian traffic, which may disrupt the usual flow of traffic.  Residents of the Foggy Bottom community and GW faculty and staff should prepare for increased traffic congestion on and around GW’s Foggy Bottom campus, especially on August 29 and August 30. Parking also will be limited on these dates. University Police will close F Street between 19^th and 20^th Streets. GW urges staff and faculty to consider taking public transportation between August 29 and September 3.  Arriving and leaving early and approaching campus from the north will also be beneficial to staff and faculty.

For more information on GW move-in procedures, please call Anna Cenatiempo, associate director, Housing Services at (202) 994-6688.
