More About

Inclusive Excellence Week is an intentional conference of events centered around advancing understandings of diversity, equity, and inclusion at the Elliott School. Each year, the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (ODEI) convenes a committee to determine a theme and organize programming, panels, workshots, and community spaces focused on inclusive excellence. 

More About

The Elliott School's Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (ODEI) and the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Council (DEIC) organizes events that examine current and historical issues and topics in the Elliott School community, primarily those which examine the intersection of diversity, equity, inclusion, and international affairs. This includes events that support the institution's larger commitment to diversity and support of annual cultural heritage celebrations.

Finding Community At Elliott

Elliott School students are service-oriented, civically-engaged, and internationally–minded. Whether you are an undergraduate or graduate student, the Elliott School provides a myriad of ways for students to find community through student organizations. Student-lead organizations offer space for individuals of similar backgrounds, identities, interests, and studies to come together and build connections.

As a city school, Elliott encourages students to explore organizations within the Washington, D.C., area to find community and expand personal connections. See a collection of affinity organizations in the DMV below.


Elliott Launches Fund to Increase Access and Promote Equity

An innovative initiative at the Elliott School provides significant new resources for students, advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion in international affairs education by increasing access for students with financial need. 

The initiative, the Elliott Equity Fund, is in line with GW University’s commitment to excellence and affordability. The fund, which the school will grow through philanthropic contributions, will help foster an inclusive academic environment, further efforts to diversify the student body, and ensure that students can reach their full potential.
