Student Association first-year senators presented its first report last week detailing challenges facing freshmen during online learning.
Three first-year senators released a survey in October asking the Class of 2024 about their thoughts toward online learning and how respondents want to improve their “virtual learning experience,” according to the report. The survey found that freshmen feel virtual learning has weakened their academic experience and connections with professors.

University President Thomas LeBlanc arrived in Foggy Bottom less than four years ago, but he has already made a lasting impact on GW’s administration.
LeBlanc quickly identified improving institutional culture, philanthropy, the student experience, the medical enterprise and research as his five top initiatives as GW president, and he has since led major restructuring efforts in the departments overseeing each of these areas. Since his arrival in August 2017, LeBlanc has overseen the hiring of both of GW’s executive vice presidents, seven of GW’s nine vice presidents and seven of the University’s 11 deans.

For the first time this month, much of the University’s student population doesn’t have direct representation on a local governing body.
The district known as 2A08 is the only sector of the Foggy Bottom and West End Advisory Neighborhood Commission that relies on a student to represent a constituency, which is nearly entirely comprised of GW students – aside from University President Thomas LeBlanc’s on-campus residence. Former commissioners said the COVID-19 pandemic drained the area of potential candidates, and the district will lose a voice that has elevated students’ interests for years.
