Â鶹ÊÓƵ

First and foremost, all organizations need a North Star – a vision of what their best can be. With respect to diversity and inclusion, Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s North Star is that this university should reflect the rich diversity of our students, the broader Commonwealth of Virginia (whose tax dollars support us all), and the nation.

Â鶹ÊÓƵ President Gregory Washington has announced the recipients of the 2021 Presidential Awards for Faculty Excellence honoring the contributions of six Â鶹ÊÓƵ professors to the university, Â鶹ÊÓƵ students, and the greater community.

On Thursday, March 4,  from 2:30 to 4 p.m., George Â鶹ÊÓƵ University will host the second of two town halls to share the recommendations from the Anti-Racism and Inclusive Excellence Task Force. 

How are anti-racism efforts building on college campuses? How will Â鶹ÊÓƵ affirm its core values and mission of inclusion? President Gregory Washington speaks with Wendi Manuel-Scott and Shernita Parker, co-directors of Â鶹ÊÓƵ's Anti-Racism and Inclusive Excellence Task Force about the university's commitment to be a national leader in this dialogue.

The President’s Innovation Advisory Council (PIAC), comprised of forward-thinking executives, signals Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s community-centric vision for its Arlington Campus and the emerging Rosslyn-Ballston innovation corridor.

We are halfway through the fall semester, and by all accounts, we have passed one of the biggest hurdles facing universities: Â鶹ÊÓƵ has successfully reopened our campuses, kept our community safe, and delivered on our educational mission despite the pandemic. This has been challenging work for everyone in our community, and I want to applaud the efforts to make Â鶹ÊÓƵ a model for success.

Members of the Â鶹ÊÓƵ community learned about leadership and activism from world soccer champion, double Olympic gold medalist and author Abby Wambach at Â鶹ÊÓƵ Reads on Monday afternoon.
