President Knapp Delivers First Faculty Address


GW President Steven Knapp addressed the GW faculty officially for the first time at the annual Faculty Assembly, Sept. 10 in Lisner Auditorium. This is a special meeting of the GW Faculty Senate at which new members are formally introduced to their colleagues. In addition to being GW's new president, Knapp introduced himself as a member of the English Department faculty. Knapp lauded GW faculty's research and academic achievements. “My job is to understand what interests you, and why, so I can remove any roadblocks to your pursuing those interests; and also so I can convey to potential partners and supporters the impact that your doing so is likely to have,” said Knapp. “Together, we can build the pre-eminence in research that GW aspires and deserves to enjoy.” To read Knapp’s full address, visit http://president.gwu.edu.
