Dear Colleagues,
As we reach the end of the semester, I want to take a moment to thank you. Thank you for your extraordinary commitment to GW. Thank you for continuing to push the boundaries of knowledge and for supporting our students with care and creativity. Thank you for keeping our campus moving forward in ways that may not always be seen but are absolutely essential. Thank you for the ways you do all this with grace, resilience, and humor.
We have so much to look forward to in the year ahead. Our new Strategic Framework gives me tremendous confidence in the future of the university, especially because this community developed it together. I look forward to our work together to implement this critical roadmap and am grateful every day to be partners with you in this effort.
Before you head out for Winter Break, please take a moment to watch the 2025 holiday video, created by the team in the Office of Communications and Marketing and featuring what I treasure most about this campus. As you’ll see from scenes in the video, no matter where you are on campus or what role you play, each of you contributes something unique to the larger story of GW.
Sonya and I wish you and your loved ones a safe and joyous holiday season. We look forward to the new year with optimism and all we will continue to achieve for GW together.
Raise High!
Ellen M. Granberg
President
