Initiatives and Programs | Office of the President | The George Washington University

This process aims to improve the GW experience for our community, to better leverage our extraordinary strengths to change the world through education and research, and to build a community of adaptable and resilient global leaders.

The Humanitarian Internship Program (HIP) at GW places students in internships with humanitarian organizations to address global challenges through impactful solutions.

In Fall 2025, President Granberg launched an initiative, led by a steering committee of GW community members, to reaffirm the university’s mission and refresh our current mission statement to ensure it reflects the shared aspirations of the GW community.
