Advisory Councils

Many of our schools and programs assemble prominent leaders in their fields to serve on an advisory

council. These groups are composed of volunteer members who provide real-world experience while promoting program initiatives and long-term planning strategies. Advisory council members also help foster collaboration between GW and local, national, and global organizations.

Joining an advisory council forges partnerships with members of our community and offers the opportunity to serve GW in a leadership capacity.
