The GW Student Association

After extensive student input, the GW Student Association launched a revamped web presence.  This resources network, consisting of GWStudentAssociation.com, gwsafunds.com, and ourgwsa.com, is designed to not only inform students about what our student government is working on, but also provide access to the vast array of services that our student government provides.  Most importantly, it offers students an avenue of communication to their elected leaders so that the conversation is not simply one way.

GWStudentAssociation.com, the primary site, is dedicated to the formal workings of the organization – meetings, agendas, minutes, and contact information.  Newly launched gwsafunds.com serves to introduce an additional level of transparency to the funding process by not only providing student organization leaders with resources necessary to navigate the often times cumbersome financial process, but also ensuring that every student has the ability to track, analyze, and evaluate our collective student fund to ensure that it is being best utilized.  Also launching is ourgwsa.com, centered around the personal side of student government on campus, our one stop for all the resources that the Student Association and its leaders have to offer.

But this is our website!  We’d love to hear thoughts and feedback – let us know what you think by emailing web@gwstudentassociation.com or by tweeting us @ourgwsa.

Want to get involved? Think you can help to make it better?  Throughout the year we’ll be looking for assistance keeping the website up to date. No special skills are required, just an eagerness to learn! Email web@gwstudentassociation.com if you’re interested.

Working on updating website content and coordinating meetings for next week. Have a great Memorial Day Weekend!

Participated in some Campaign GW events today. Getting really excited for the new residence hall on F St. Are you one of the lucky upcoming seniors who get to live there next year? Then met with Carly and Dan to discuss the beginning stages of the website. What do you want to see from the SA website? Is this easy to navigate?
Carly@gwstudentassociation.com would love to hear your thoughts!

Meeting with Kelly Leon in the morning to discuss the SRI comission. Did your organization receive funding from the SRI last year? If so please email me at Julie@gwstudentassociation.com with your experience! Then I headed over to the Service Excellence Advisory Committee to hear what’s in the works for next year. They had really interesting survey responses to share which will help drive service at GW in the next few years. I then had a chance to practice my speech for CI in Lisner Auditorium. I ended the day with another meeting to work on the website. It was a really busy day!

Had a meeting this morning with Alexa Kim, the Executive Director of University Web Services to talk about getting students involved with testing the Unified Web Presence. What do you want to see from the GW websites? Be sure to send me an email with your thoughts!
