GW Celebrates 200th Anniversary
This year, the George Washington University celebrates its 200th anniversary. GW’s bicentennial is an incredible, historic milestone.

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.

The US-China Education Trust Moves to GW
"The new affiliation—a hosting agreement—between George Washington University (GW) and The US-China Education Trust (USCET), the 20+ year-old non-profit dedicated to educational exchange between the two countries, comes at a moment when relations between the two nations are troubled. The affiliation will hopefully strengthen education and cultural exchange between the two countries. As part of the agreement, the GW Elliott School of International Affairs will host USCET’s office; the latter will remain an independent organization."

Jacob Winn
BA Candidate, 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."
