A Note from Dean PettyM.L. Cissy Petty, Ph.D.Dear GW Students:Today, we are sad.

On campusstudents were asked to vacate GW residence halls and only a limited number of exceptions were made.With governmentstay-at-home instructions issued to limit the spread of COVID-19, we do not believe it will be safe for students to return to campus in the coming weeks to move out of the residence halls.Our focus is on packing and storing student belongings through the start of the Fall 2020 semester at no cost. We are exploring options for the shipping of some items or the retrieval of stored belongings.Visit Campus Living and Residential EducationStudent LifeFollow @studentlifeatgw to stay connectedto the community of engaged students.Follow Student Life at GWCampus RecreationFollow @gwcampusrec for weekly workout challenges, tips, and resources to stay healthy!Follow Campus RecGW TrailsFollow @gwtrails to get outside andlearn how you can explore the outdoors responsibly.Follow GW TrailsResidential LifeFollow @homeatgw to stay connected to the residential community,your homeat GW.Follow Home at GW GW is committed to digital accessibility.
