At The George Washington University, students maximize the opportunities in our nation’s capital by taking part in meaningful public dialogue around important issues that impact the lives of fellow citizens.

“Without debate, without criticism, no administration and no country can succeed and no republic can survive.” ― John F. Kennedy

As one of the most politically active colleges in the US, we support your Constitutional right to advocate for what is just. In our view, participation in peaceful protests is a legitimate way to exercise this right. If you are disciplined or suspended by your school district as a consequence of peacefully and lawfully exercising this right, such measures will have no effect upon your admissions decision here at GW.

Sincerely,



Costas Solomou, Ed.D.
