"ASK GW" FEATURES PRESIDENT TRACHtTENBERG AS FIRST GUEST

Do you want to ask a question of a professor or University official? Do you want to hear from a faculty or staff member about their area of expertise?

The Office of University Relations is introducing an online forum for discussion called “Ask GW,” located at www.ask.gwu.edu. This forum will tackle University, world, national and even self-help issues powered by questions and answers from faculty, staff, students, alumni, parents and friends.

Visitors to “Ask GW” are invited to submit questions online; responses from University experts will be posted a few days later. Users can visit the Web site for answers or subscribe to the weekly GW News Center E-mail, which will include transcripts and a list of upcoming guests.

University President Stephen Joel Trachtenberg was the first guest on “Ask GW.” Those questions and answers will be posted this week. Guests also taking questions this week include Dr. Jerrold Post, professor of psychiatry, political psychology and international affairs, and Dr. Steve Patierno, director of GW's Cancer Institute.
