D.C. Experiences Working Group
President Ellen M. Granberg’s Charge:
When GW launched Raising Higher: OneGW’s Path to Preeminence, we established three working groups to begin translating our shared aspirations into recommendations.
President Ellen M. Granberg charged the D.C. Experiences Working Group with developing recommendations to embed distinctive, D.C.-based experiences across academic programs and throughout the student journey. The committee will also explore strategies to position these experiences as a signature element of the GW experience, one that fully leverages our location in the heart of the nation’s capital to enhance learning, leadership, and post-graduate pathways.
The working group has now completed its formal charge, and we are pleased to share its final report with the GW community.
