The GW Centuries Celebration Weekend
We are thrilled to invite the entire GW community to gather together in Washington, D.C., from Oct. 1-3, 2021, for Our Moment, Our Momentum: The GW Centuries Celebration Weekend.
This culmination of our bicentennial includes in-person events and activities for alumni, students, faculty, staff and GW families, as well as Commencement for the Classes of 2020 and 2021, opportunities to honor our Monumental Alumni and a closing Bicentennial Bash.
The Washington Quarterly Fall 2021 Issue is Live
The Fall 2021 issue of The Washington Quarterly is live! In the feature section, After US Troops Leave, authors discuss how
the US can leverage access to change its global force posture and why the US loses wars while Russia and Iran win.
The China-Russia Connection is also explored by five articles aimed at understanding the nature of the relationship, how it can be weakened, the threat posed by Russia, and how each country manipulates information to achieve strategic goals.
Plus, will North Korea deploy tactical nuclear weapons, and what would that mean for escalation on the Korean peninsula? And what measures should Tokyo consider to reinvigorate Japan’s economic statecraft?
GW Celebrates 200th Anniversary
This year, the George Washington University celebrates its 200th anniversary. GW’s bicentennial is an incredible, historic milestone. February 9, 2021 is officially the 200th anniversary of when the United States Congress established our university’s charter in 1821. GW's bicentennial kicks off an eight-month long celebration to recognize GW's generations of progress. Visit the GW Bicentennial website to learn more about the celebration.

Jacob Winn
BA International Affairs and Political Science, Dean's Scholar, Class of 2021
"I have always loved politics, political science, and international affairs, and so the prospect of choosing my own research path that would combine all of those areas was my top priority.
In the Dean's Scholars Program, I am researching the influence of the Brexit movement, referendum, and EU withdrawal politics on the British Conservative Party, which has allowed me to combine all of my broader passions."
