About the Student Association

Who We Are

The official voice of every GW student.

The GW Student Association is the undergraduate student government of the George Washington University. We are elected by students, accountable to students, and dedicated to making GW the best it can be — academically, socially, and culturally.

From advocating for policy changes with university leadership to funding student organizations and hosting campus-wide events, we exist to ensure that every student has a voice in shaping their GW experience. We believe that a university in the heart of Washington, DC should empower students to be engaged citizens, leaders, and changemakers.

Advocacy

We represent student interests in university governance, from academic policy to campus infrastructure.

Community

We build connections across schools, organizations, and identities to create a campus that feels like home.

Empowerment

We fund, support, and amplify student initiatives so your ideas can become real impact.
