Freshmen visited more than 50 sites in Washington, D.C.,  Maryland, and Virginia as part of GW’s annual Freshman Day of Service Saturday.

Students furnished apartments at A Wider Circle’s North Capital Commons, a mixed-income housing property for formerly homeless veterans. Students served alongside University President Steven Knapp.

“To set the example of service I think is one of the critical ways of educating [students] as citizens and leaders,” said Knapp.
