New Student Orientation
Fall 2023 Orientation
Welcome to the Graduate School of Education and Human Development (GSEHD)! Orientation is an opportunity to connect with the GW, GSEHD, and larger DC communities. All students are required to complete the asynchronous virtual orientation in Blackboard. We also welcome you to join us for live virtual sessions and a Fall Welcome event on the Foggy Bottom campus.
We encourage you to review the New Student Guide as you prepare for your first semester. We look forward to supporting you as you work towards your academic and professional goals.
