WHAT IS
CampaignGW? CampaignGW is a forum for students to engage the student body on behalf of the Division of Operations to improve the development maintenance and sustainability of our campus. We provide opportunities for students to participate in the decision making process, and share their ideas directly with the administration. We promote awareness, and garner student support for the future development outline in both the 2007 Foggy Bottom Campus Plan and the 2010 Mount Vernon Campus Plan
since fall 2005... Major Development Accomplishments supported by Letter Writing campaigns and student testimony: n n n n n n n n n
