Information for Students

There are many ways to make personal and professional connections with GW alumni.

Attend a Summer-Sendoff

First-year students and their families are invited to join us at one of our Summer Send-Offs. Graciously hosted by alumni and parents in cities around the globe, GW Summer Send-Offs provide new students and their families the opportunity to meet various members of the GW community, including other first-year students, parents, alumni, and administrators.

Attend a Virtual Dinner or Coffee with Alumni

Always wanted to connect with experienced GW alumni? Haven’t selected a leadership position on campus, your major or career path yet? This is your opportunity to connect with GW alumni and fellow students! Virtual Dinners and Coffees will be posted in GW HandShake and students will have an opportunity to apply. Spaces for both are very limited and signing up does not confirm your placement.  Once selected, students will be contacted regarding their participation. Please contact the Program Coordinator with any questions.

Participate in GW Career Connect

Participate in GW Career Connect, an online networking community brought to you by the Center for Career Services to seek career guidance and professional development from alumni.

Join the GW Alumni Association's LinkedIn Group

By joining the GW Alumni Association’s LinkedIn group, you’ll have the chance to network and exchange career advice with more than 35,000 alumni from 40+ countries to further your professional connections.
