Everyone was seen and loved.” Not only will students and their families tour the campus, they will have an opportunity to meet and talk with ۶ֱ professors at the academic department fair. They will also participate in a comprehensive admissions information session, explore student life, and enjoy a complimentary lunch in the Caf and network with fellow prospective students and GWU representatives.
