From the Dean's Blog: The Gaffney Family - A GW Legacy
One of the many moments that made Commencement weekend so special was my time with alumnus John Gaffney, BA ‘82, who is Chairman my National Council Advisory Board. It was such a pleasure to meet John’s mother, and the rest of the Gaffney family who had gathered to celebrate the graduation of Sean, the next generation of Gaffneys at GW. The Gaffney legacy continues this fall when Sean’s sister, Caroline, enters Columbian College as a freshman, and brother, Conor, transfers from Franklin and Marshall College for his third year.
