Community
Between their first steps onto campus and the moment they throw their graduation caps in the air, students become part of a lifelong and worldwide GW community. After commencement, they remain an important part of who we are. To strengthen our relationship with 225,000 alumni around the world, GW’s Alumni Association focuses its efforts on:
- Engaging alumni to create lifelong interactions with fellow graduates, current students and GW;
- Providing an outlet for alumni to voice their opinion with the University;
- Building a culture of philanthropy to support current and future generations of GW students and alumni.
