DSA cultivates an inclusive community that supports connection, growth, and well-being for every student throughout their GW journey.
WHAT'S HAPPENING IN DSA
New Student Orientation
Summer 2025
Your GW journey starts here! We are ready to welcome our newest Revolutionaries as they learn all about what makes GW unique, discover the resources available to help them thrive academically and personally, and begin founding relationships with the peers, staff, and faculty who will be with them along the way.
New Family Orientation
Summer 2025
As new students prepare for life at GW, parents, family members, and supporters are important partners for their success. Alongside New Family Orientation programming, we invite family members and supporters of students to join our Blue Print Webinar Series to learn how they can build a strong foundation of support for their student.
