George Washington University honors students are
Intellectual Omnivores.
University Honors Program
The George Washington University (GW) Honors Program helps students hone their analytical and expressive powers, deepen their understanding of complex issues and questions, and broaden their perspectives. Built upon an interdisciplinary honors experience, the program is fully aligned with the highest academic aspirations of GW’s schools and departments. Honors students are intellectual omnivores who know that you can’t be interested in one thing without being interested in all things.

Student-Faculty Dinner – But Virtual
UHPers, despite the virtual semester, we’ve still got a student-faculty dinner for you! We won’t be able to give you a discounted Chalin’s buffet this time around, but we encourage everyone to purchase some takeout from a local Chinese restaurant and join us on Tuesday, December 8, at 6PM ET for an end-of-semester celebration.
