Class Year Programs

The Class Year Programs office is dedicated to fostering a sense of community and belonging among students throughout their undergraduate journey. 

Our office designs unique experiences tailored to each class year, from the excitement of first-year orientation to the celebration of Senior Week. We believe in creating opportunities for students to connect with their peers, build lasting memories, and embrace GW traditions. By offering meaningful connections and community-building activities, Class Year Programs support students as they grow, learn, and make the most of their time at GW.
