Graduate Student Process Group

University Counseling Center

Mondays, 930am to 11am

cost: free of charge

Group facilitators: Dr. Noah Meyers & Dr. Imran Riaz

please send an email to iriaz@gwu.edu if interested, or call (202) 994-5300

This group is of the interpersonal process variety. The group members will choose what topics to discuss. Graduate students typically utilize groups to talk about some of the unique stressors of being a student and balancing work/life. It also is an opportunity to gain peer support and hear from others that may be going through the same types of stressors, particularly for students who might be new to the area, or new to GW.

Discover Mount Vernon, Feb. 22

GW students are invited to tour the historic estate and witness a wreath-laying ceremony on the 281st birthday of George Washington, Commander-in-Chief of American forces in the Revolutionary War and the first President of the United States who called Mount Vernon home for more than 40 years.

The visit includes free transportation and admission. Space is limited.

Did you know that current GW graduate students and graduate student alumni are eligible to apply for the Fulbright Study Abroad Program? If you're interested in living and studying abroad for a year, join us for an information session and alumni panel to learn more about this prestigious program. The Fulbright for U.S. students includes grants for academic study, research, and English teaching assistantships.

Get an overview of the Fulbright Study Abroad Program and how the GW Office of Graduate Student Assistantships and Fellowships can assist you with your application. Alumni who are past recipients will be on hand to discuss their experiences with the application, funding, and on-the-ground issues. A reception follows the presentation.

This event is open to current GW graduate students and graduate student alumni, and is sponsored by the GW Office of Graduate Student Assistantships and Fellowships, the GW Alumni Association, and the Elliott School of International Affairs.
