GW Team Celebrates First Flight at Design, Build, Fly Competition
A team of GW students competed for the first time in person at the 2022 Design, Build, Fly competition, sponsored by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. The international competition is an opportunity for students to get practical experience in the field.
The aim for the competition was to design, build and test an unmanned aircraft to deliver components needed for vaccination—timely, as this was the first time the competition has been held in person since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Missions included aircraft deployment, staging of vaccination syringes and delivery of environmentally sensitive vaccine vial packages.

Students Donate During Green Move-Out
During Green Move-Out, students donated 45,000 pounds of clothing, 6,000 pounds of household goods and 2,100 pounds of food for distribution and reuse. This year, 58 volunteers worked for a combined 472 hours to sort and bag reusable items. A total of 53,000 pounds—more than 26 tons—were collected, diverting 11 truckloads from the landfill.
"Thomas Buergenthal visited my Holocaust class @GWtweets today and I’ll never forget it. It was the first time in my life hearing from a Holocaust survivor directly. Research through text is one thing. Hearing directly from the person is another."
