Brown Bag Lunch Series

Our goal is to help support GW departments in providing brown bag lunch sessions that meet the needs of your team. The Brown Bag Lunch Menu offers a variety of choices for GW departments and teams to learn new things to help improve their health, work-life balance, and overall well-being.

Below is just a sampling of the topics available through Colonial Community's Brown Bag Lunch program. To discuss your groups needs and schedule a session, contact Brenda Jones at 202-994-6551 or yourlife@gwu.edu.
