BA '19, Spanish & Latin American Language, Literatures and Cultures
"My undergraduate experience at GW has been filled with impactful moments, individuals and experiences so it is hard to pinpoint just one. I feel very fortunate to have been able to meet so many amazing and uplifting individuals through my time in the direct GW community—and through the opportunities afforded to me by being a part of the GW community such as my two study abroad experiences."

MA '19, American Studies
"While working in DCPS, my eyes were really opened to both the urgent need and general desire of people to better relate to one another across difference. I am hoping that my research in American Studies can ultimately give people some of the tools needed to understand one another."
