Strengthening Our Community in Challenging Times
Strengthening Our Community
Over the summer, the university reflected and planned for the academic year ahead.
This work was guided by three core commitments: fostering a safe campus environment, respecting the GW community's right to free expression, and maintaining the operation of our education and research programs with minimal interruption.
While each of these commitments is essential, we recognize they exist in tension. Balancing them has required thoughtful consideration and sometimes difficult decisions. This website has been updated with important information for the fall, including university safety and security measures, resources for expressive activities at GW, and links to applicable policies and codes. It also describes new initiatives designed to enhance our community engagement and conflict education.
Fostering Productive Dialogue
We are launching more programming and resources to help foster productive understanding, communication, and dialogue among members of our community.
Strengthening Partnership & Support
The university aims to grow and strengthen relationships with students and their families, faculty, staff, alumni, external groups, and others.
Resources for Expressive Activities
We have outlined resources for expressive activities at GW to provide greater clarity and accessibility to community members wishing to partake in expressive activities on our campus.
