SMHS Students Lobby Congress in Support of Health Career Opportunity Program
Student ambassadors from the School of Medicine and Health Sciences’ Health Career Opportunity Program pounded the pavement on Capitol Hill, meeting with legislators to advocate for the continuation of federal funding — critically needed support to address workforce shortage in the health professions. With grant renewal uncertain, these students joined others, canvasing the offices of Senators Tim Kaine (D-VA) and Mark Warner (D-VA), as well as Representatives Jennifer Wexton (D-VA 10) and Donald Beyer (D-VA 08), sharing their stories and testimonials about the success of GW’s program.

STORIES FROM OUR COMMUNITY
Paella Party Puts ‘World on a Plate’
The GW community got a taste of traditional Spanish cooking and a serving of lessons on the role of food around the world. Designed by internationally renowned chef and humanitarian José Andrés, the paella cookout was the culmination of the World on a Plate course, which surveyed the many ways in which food and society interact in arenas from public health to science to politics.
Student Voices: Experiencing the Men’s FIFA World Cup in Person
Sixteen students in the Master of Science in sports management program traveled to Qatar with Professor Lisa Delpy Neirotti for an experience of a lifetime volunteering at the men’s soccer World Cup. The students, many of whom were enrolled in the Management of Global Football course, used Neirotti’s guidance and connections to apply to be volunteers at the iconic tournament.
"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."
