RESEARCH
GW students are continually opening new
doors of discovery. Innovation happens
across the disciplines here, and our
students are doing pioneering work in
public health, international relations, the
humanities, social sciences, engineering,
and natural sciences. Our 500,000-square-
foot Science and Engineering Hall
features state-of-the-art labs that include a
microscopy suite, a Nanofabrication Clean
Room, a greenhouse, and a 20-ton crane.
INTERNSHIPS
With more internship listings than
undergraduates, GW students have plenty
of opportunities to gain professional
experience. They serve, shape, and stimulate
their local workplaces, which include the
White House, U.S. Department of State, the
American Red Cross, CBS News, Folger
Shakespeare Library, the National Science
Foundation, and NPR, to name a few.
SERVICE
GW students are passionate about civic
engagement. Through the Honey W.
Nashman Center for Civic Engagement and
Public Service, students can identify causes
to support, establish an organization,
chart their service hours, and connect
with mentors who can guide their work.
They can also enroll in nearly 70 service-
learning courses taught by professors and
practitioners in their fields of interest.
