CLASS OF 2005 ANNOUNCES
SENIOR CLASS GIFT
The senior class is pleased to announce this year’s senior
class gift: The Class of 2005 September 11th Scholarship Fund. Days
after the class of 2005 arrived at GW, the attacks of September
11th occurred, affecting each student profoundly. The gift establishes
a scholarship to be awarded annually to a rising senior who is in
active military service, a veteran, a first responder, or to a son
or daughter of one of these individuals. It will recognize and honor
the courage of the men and women who served our country on September
11th, 2001, and who continue to serve.
CLASS OF 2003 BRICKS INSTALLED
IN UNIVERSITY YARD
Beginning in 1990, each graduating student had a brick engraved
with his or her name and degree placed on campus. The class of 2003’s
bricks are now laid on the raised terrace in front of Lisner Hall,
and we hope that you will take a look at your brick the next time
you are on campus! For more information on the brick program, visit
