GW Students Help D.C. Children Learn Social Justice

Zoom call with participants in the Summer Trek Program

Service is a core characteristic of the GW community and even a pandemic can’t stop the passion of our students. Through a partnership with Alice Deal Middle School, the Honey W. Nashman Center for Civic Engagement and Public Service was able to offer GW students the opportunity to support D.C. children interested in addressing community issues such as the COVID-19 pandemic, racism and climate change.

STORIES FROM OUR COMMUNITY

Virtual meeting room with Justice Breyer and students as part of the GW Presidential Distinguished Event Series

Based on factors such as leadership on campus, 19 students were chosen to participate in a virtual meet and greet with Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer as part of GW’s Presidential Distinguished Event Series. Despite the distance, our students still have #OnlyatGW opportunities from wherever they are studying this semester.

This fall, as most GW students learn virtually from locations around the world, faculty are finding opportunities to leverage technology and new teaching techniques to deliver a high-quality academic experience.

"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."
