MAKE AN IMPACT

Three student volunteers sorting medical supplies; Carnegie Foundation Elective Community Engagement Classification

 

 

GW has been awarded the Carnegie Community Engagement Classification by the Carnegie Foundation. As one of 119 U.S. colleges and universities to receive it this year, the classification demonstrates the commitment our campus community has to public service and community engagement. 

“This award recognizes the long-term and significant partnerships that GW faculty, staff and students in every school have had with nonprofit and government organizations—partnerships that contribute to the quality of life and aim to bring about equity in our city and region,” said Amy Cohen, executive director of the GW Honey W. Nashman Center for Civic Engagement and Public Service.

Contributing to the world around us is an important aspect of life at GW. The Nashman Center integrates civic engagement with our academic work. Through community-based scholarship, programs and service opportunities, there are countless ways for you to get involved.
