ABOUT US
The GW Local
A GW Local is any member of the GW community who has a passion for storytelling, educating, and integrating campus life with individual experiences.
Up until now, our university has lacked a student life blog, which has forced us to find other avenues for self-expression. Now, we have the opportunity to showcase our passions, our humor, and our individuality in a holistic space.
Because we value transparency and honesty, we do not have a personal agenda; we understand the privilege GW students possess to attend a top university in a renowned city. We hope to provide articles that are easy to read and casual, yet are informative and maintain journalistic integrity and accuracy. We recognize that in a 24-hour news cycle, we don’t have much time to read articles, and we want engaging in campus news to be fun.
Our team is comprised of dedicated, passionate students with varying backgrounds and reasons for joining this organization. Despite our differences, our mission unites us. We hope that students who have ever felt silenced by their community will use this blog as a personal platform.
