Former Russian President Mikhail Gorbachev

 

In the Spotlight

Located four blocks from the White House, GW is situated in the heart of Washington, D.C., and the accompanying bustle of a major international hub. Whether welcoming foreign dignitaries, housing anti-war protesters in the 1960s, or hosting presidential inaugural events, the GW community has carved a niche as an active participant in history. Students take advantage of internships at the State Department, White House, and Capitol Hill; professors speak as experts on national newscasts and invite dignitaries to class; and area residents participate in televised news events taped on campus.

As events of global magnitude impact our world, The George Washington University stands ready to deliver relevant speakers, events, and programs to educate the University community, Foggy Bottom neighbors, and the world at large.
