Student Orientations
On behalf of GW's Office of Military and Veteran Student Services (MVS) and GW Veterans, we welcome you to our strong, 1700+ military community. The 2022-2023 academic year marks the 103rd anniversary of the founding of the GW Veterans student organization.
Our mission is to help you succeed during your time at GW. Whether that’s by helping you navigate VA education benefits, providing career resources, or supporting your integration into the community, we strive to do everything we can to further your academic and personal success.
