Dear Members of the George Washington University Community,
Since the start of President Granberg’s presidency on July 1, 2023, the GW leadership team has been meeting with members of our community, including faculty, students, staff, alumni, and university partners, to identify GW’s unique strengths and areas of opportunity. Throughout these engagements, it has become clear that our university is well-positioned to begin the development of a new strategic framework that can guide GW’s future growth over the next five to ten years.
However, before this formal framework development process can begin, it is important that we better understand the future for which we are planning and identify the challenges and opportunities higher education will face moving forward. To do this, we are launching a series of discussions on GW’s future in the form of virtual conversations open to all members of the GW community. These one-hour dialogues will focus on several key areas, including the future of work and the workforce, the future of higher education, and the future of knowledge.
