There are so many beloved campus events and activities that take place throughout the year. Here are some upcoming spring events and activities to look forward to.

The George Washington University has cancelled all in-person events and activities in response to COVID-19. The Office of Student Life and Division for Student Affairs (DSA) is committed to providing a holistic student experience. As we all work and study virtually, our team has curated dozens of online resources and events for students to participate. Visit the DSA website for more information.
