�鶹��Ƶ

�鶹��Ƶ, the largest public research university in Virginia, has a strong tradition of conducting research of consequence, from our pioneering work in cybersecurity to developing new ways of testing for COVID-19.

�鶹��Ƶ is launching a brand awareness called “The Secret’s Out,” which aims to reintroduce �鶹��Ƶ to Northern Virginia and to remind the on-campus community, alumni and supporters how �鶹��Ƶ has emerged as an educational, cultural and economic driver over the past half-century.

�鶹��Ƶ grew its number of Pell Grant-receiving students by the fifth-largest total in the country over the past five years, the American Talent Initiative announced last week in a progress report that tracks enrollment of lower-income students at the ATI’s 130 member institutions.

The unanimous U.S. Supreme Court’s June ruling limiting the NCAA’s ability to restrict education-related benefits to athletes won’t have as broad an impact as some news outlets are reporting, said Craig Esherick, former Georgetown University men’s basketball coach, lawyer and associate professor in �鶹��Ƶ’s College of Education and Human Development.

The “complicated” life of George �鶹��Ƶ IV ties directly to �鶹��Ƶ’s “profound” standing today as Virginia’s largest and most diverse public university, �鶹��Ƶ President Gregory Washington said Thursday at a Town of Vienna Liberty Amendments Month event that celebrated constitutional freedoms.

There are currently no COVID-19 cases among �鶹��Ƶ's more than 50,000 students, faculty and staff

Fifty-three weeks after it was moved to Holton Plaza to make way for construction related to the Core Campus Project, the iconic George �鶹��Ƶ statue was returned to its home on �鶹��Ƶ’s Wilkins Plaza.

�鶹��Ƶ was named the top young university in the United States in the recently released 2021 Times Higher Education (THE) Young University Rankings.

INTO �鶹��Ƶ offers both undergraduate and graduate pathway programs for international students who want to study at �鶹��Ƶ. A partnership between �鶹��Ƶ and INTO University Partnerships, INTO �鶹��Ƶ supports a diverse group of students, according to its website, “from application to graduation.”

�鶹��Ƶ’s Schar School of Policy and Government will launch its new Race, Politics, and Policy Center in Fall 2021 under the leadership of Professor Michael Fauntroy. Fauntroy, who taught at �鶹��Ƶ for 11 years before joining the faculty at Howard University in 2013, returned to �鶹��Ƶ in June.
