GW Today recently published an article highlighting the Presidential Fellowship’s contributions to the university and the impressive projects our fellows have undertaken.
The piece underscores the mission of the fellowship and the meaningful benefits it provides to each cohort. It also emphasizes the significant impact fellows have across campus, noting that “Fellows make life better for other graduate students and the GW community at large.”
The article details how this year’s cohort submitted a grant proposal to the Luther Rice Foundation and received $11,500 to strengthen connections among graduate students and promote interdisciplinary research through the development of a database that links students by their research interests. It also highlights how the proposal closely aligns with the university’s strategic framework.
In addition, the article praises the fellows’ successful events, including the “Spooky Monument Walk” and the Friendsgiving Celebration, and shares the vision for the research database the fellows are working to build, along with updates on its current status.
The feature concludes with reflections from several current fellows, who describe how the fellowship has shaped their graduate experience and contributed to the broader GW community.
