Student Academic Engagement

At GW, we’re putting knowledge into action in ways that emphasize leadership, community building, service, and career exploration as we integrate student life and learning.  Recognizing that GW is a community of scholars, the Center for Student Engagement (CSE) brings learning out of the classroom and works to implement innovative four-year, competency-based student learning outcomes that are personalized to ensure you achieve your unique goals and aspirations.

We’ll also help you indulge your passion for changing the world.  The Center for Civic Engagement and Public Service (CCEPS) offers a variety of opportunities that make a difference through one-time service projects and through on-going opportunities with local organizations, schools, food kitchens, and homeless shelters.  CCEPS also supports academically enriching service-learning classes and community-based research opportunities that help build a stronger community.

GW embraces a career culture at GW and the GW Career Center can help you find the right employment, whether it’s a work-study job, internship, or cooperative education experience.  We will help you to achieve your personal and professional goals through the GW Career Center, which will guide you to experiential opportunities that will enhance your classroom education.

Student Wellness, Education, and Prevention

GW is a healthy campus and a number of areas within the DOS Consortium focus on student wellness.  The University Counseling Center (UCC) and the Student Health Service (SHS) strive to create a more healthy, supportive campus community.  Our staff members in the Office of Student Rights & Responsibilities and the Office of Civility & Community Standards manage numerous outreach, prevention, and education programs designed to facilitate respect, civility, and community responsibility.  GW cares about our students, by providing a comprehensive 24/7/365 emergency response system and with professional staff members in the residence halls who are part of the crisis response duty team.  Additionally, phone triage systems in UCC and SHS connect you to mental and physical health professionals quickly, day or night, without ever leaving your room.

Student Administrative Services

The DOS Consortium Student Administrative Services team helps simplify your experiences, making GW a smart investment.  From your freshman year to graduate studies, GW Housing staff members work hard to find just the right residence hall for you.  Our staff members plan Hallmark Programs making your experience uniquely GW.  Starting with Colonial Inauguration right through Grad Week, our team brings new opportunities right to your door.
