Chairman of the Board of Trustees, W. Russell Ramsey, discusses the state of the University.

The happenings of this academic year, now only in its ninth week, should remind us all of why it is a great time to be at GW. The dynamic speakers and other events that fill our campus venues, the engagement of our faculty in teaching and research, and certainly the enthusiasm and energy of our students inside and outside the classroom provide tangible proof of the excitement we all feel as members of the GW community. Simply put, our campus is alive with enthusiasm, energy and a starry-eyed, wide-eyed optimism that anything can be accomplished.
