This is a reminder that the Flag Your Problem event is being held in Kogan Plaza, from 12 – 2pm today, October 22nd. Come out to meet your Student Association leaders and tell them your thoughts about GW. Below is a description of the event.
The GW Student Association would like to announce our new “Flag Your Problem” event series. The first event will be held this Thursday (October 22nd) in Kogan Plaza, from 12-2pm. These events will serve as a way for the student body to communicate directly with the SA, and inform us about your most pressing problems. We’ll be talking to students and visually demonstrating their problems by writing them on flags and hanging them in Kogan Plaza. This will make the SA more responsive to student needs, and highlight problems that are not being addressed with the amount of emphasis they deserve.
Please come out and tell us about what’s going on in your life right now.
Geoffrey Blake, Vice President for Undergraduate Student Policy

This past Saturday, July 25, Julie and I had the opportunity to join the Alumni Association in their annual, day-long retreat right here on the GW campus. The retreat gave us some great insight into the many things the Alumni Association is doing for the past, present and future GW student community, and we were proud to represent the student perspective to a group of Alumni Association board members who graduated anywhere from months ago to decades ago. In addition to the Alumni board members, this retreat gave us an opportunity to meet with members of the Board of Trustees, who we have found to be very receptive to the student opinion, and passionate about improving student life on a day to day basis.
In our small group meetings during the retreat, we discussed many of the same issues members of the Student Association wrestle with everyday: what is the best way to outreach to the GW community? How can we use alumni as better resources for students? How do we quantify and improve that “school spirit” element that so many students feel can be improved upon?
There are a number of great resources the Alumni Association already offers the GW community-at-large, such as the “How do I become a…” speaker series, Alumni Dinners, and the Career Advisor Network. What else would you like to see the Alumni Association offer?
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts, GW!
