Global Leaders Award

GW values diversity and the foundation it provides for a rich educational experience both inside and beyond the classroom. In our increasingly global society, multicultural fluency and experience are essential to meeting the demands of the 21st century. When people of different religions, cultures and histories study and learn together, we gain a broader perspective of the world around us.

"Receiving the Global Leaders Award was a substantive reason for choosing GW, but more than that, it was the opportunities and dynamism of the university and DC that really cemented my decision to attend."
