To the members of our community who have been directly effected by this horrible tragedy, please know that the Student Association and the GW Community are here to support you through this difficult time.

When most people think of our student government, they think of funding and controversy, forms and meetings – ourgwsa.com sets out to change that!

While GWStudentAssociation.com is dedicated more so to the formal workings of the organization, and gwsafunds.com serves to provide a level of transparency to the funding process, ourgwsa.com is about the personal side of student government on campus.  Our one stop for all the resources that the Student Association has to offer.

The Student Association’s goal is to make all of our college experiences just a little more enjoyable.  Sometimes it takes big sweeping changes, but sometimes it’s the little things that make the big difference.  Need a hand navigating the university’s red tape?  Have a question about registration?  Roommate trouble? Want to get more involved on campus? or if you just have an idea that you think our peers can benefit from, ourgwsa.com is the student help desk that’s open 24/7.

As you’re registering for classes this summer, remember the Student Association is here to help you.

Check out the majors of the Executive Cabinet and Student Senate and email them about classes in that department or even just to find out the classes they enjoyed their freshman year.

Having trouble? Email the Vice President for Academic Affairs, John Holsapple on ways you think that registration can be improved!

Don’t forget to utilize the schedule of classes and as always let us know of any questions, comments, and concerns.

A great way of staying up to date on all of the information floating around campus? Add our name to our mailing list for comprehensive updates.

Interested in sending out information over our listserv? Email Carly@gwstudentassociation.com. Check out the Colonial Calendar for events going on around campus or to add our own! Don’t forget to follow the GW Student Association on Twitter for the latest ways to have our voice heard.
