I am pleased to share with you the George Washington University’s fourth annual civic engagement report. For the past four years, this publication has proudly showcased GW’s engagement activities and demonstrated the depth and breadth of the university’s contributions to the city we call home. This year, in addition to outlining our work across the District, we’ve included several inspiring stories of GW Revolutionaries who are tackling health disparities, improving community safety, and fostering innovation, education, and entrepreneurship beyond the eight wards of our city. These select stories exemplify our GW community’s remarkable impact locally, nationally, and globally.

Central to our civic engagement initiatives is the Honey W. Nashman Center for Civic Engagement and Public Service. The Nashman Center, in collaboration with other academic programs and initiatives, is at the forefront of addressing critical issues of the utmost importance to D.C. residents. In the past year, the Nashman Center has played a pivotal role in supporting academic success, civic development, and social-emotional wellness programming within D.C. public schools. It has also hosted several local days of service for the GW community. These activities not only enhance the lives and education of the city’s K-12 students but also contribute to training the next generation of teachers, leaders, and citizens.

These efforts stem from GW’s robust partnerships across the District’s eight wards, founded on a shared commitment to serving our communities. Looking forward, we remain dedicated to strengthening and scaling these invaluable relationships while fostering new collaborations to solve our most pressing challenges. Together, we will continue to drive positive change, making Washington, D.C., an even better place to live, work, and learn.
