- "Since our capital city’s first days, people have traveled here for many reasons. They come to explore the past and to chart new futures. They come to ask questions and to seek expert answers. They come to start discourse and to remember in silence. They come to demand change and to be that change. They come to grow. They come to learn. They come to make history and join the ranks alongside many prominent GW alumni." The university enrolls over 26,000 students across its ten schools and 100 research centers.

- General Information
- GWU has not yet taken steps to implement anti-racism initiatives university-wide. However, the School of Medicine and Health Sciences formed an "anti-racism" coalition to address implicit bias within the school's medical enterprise. What changes the coalition will demand (and how the university will respond to those demands) is not yet known. No mandatory Critical Race Training sessions are yet required of students. However, see developments below:
