DC Chamber of Commerce Honors GWs Commitment
to the District
In recognition of its overall contributions that
make the District of Columbia a better place to live, learn and work,
GW was honored with the DC Chamber of Commerces (DCCC) 2003 Chairs
Award on Nov. 13.
The George Washington University is an academic and community gem
here in our nations capital, said DCCC President and CEO Barbara
Lang. Not only does the school provide a top-notch education for
its students, but it is also the citys largest private employer
and has gone above and beyond in serving the local community.
GW, a dedicated Strategic Partner of the Chamber, is the largest
institution of higher education in the nations capital. The University
is also the largest single post-secondary contributor in the nation of
aid to DC Public Schools. In the past year alone, GW students, faculty
and staff volunteered more than 90,000 hours of community service in DC.
We take our commitment to the District of Columbia very seriously
and this honor is deeply appreciated, said GW President Stephen
Joel Trachtenberg. The people of GW give their time, energy and
expertise for the single reward of knowing they are helping build a stronger
community. In the process, we all benefit.
