Student Leadership

Student leaders take shape in many forms from members of the Student Government Association to captains of varsity athletics and student organization presidents. GW students don't just participate in campus life; they stimulate it and consistently make their mark.

All student leaders, regardless of their role, work to start a conversation and make progress on an issue or topic.
