› Review your student’s financial needs for the
upcoming year. Talk to your student about the
importance of credit and money management as they
prepare to return to campus for the upcoming year.
› Discuss any goals they have for the upcoming year
and ask how you can best support them.
› If your student was not able to explore the
Washington, DC area as much as they had planned,
encourage them to see what opportunities are
available when they return to campus.

› GW RevRide
› To help incoming first-year and transfer students
explore Washington, D.C. safely, The George
Washington University is partnering with Lyft to
launch GW RevRide—a late-night transportation
program designed to support students as they get to
know the city.
›
› GW RevRide will operate during the first two
weekends of the fall semester: August 21–24 and
August 28–September 1. Each night between 11
p.m. and 4 a.m., participating students can receive
$15 off one Lyft ride within the D.C. metro area. The
program is open to students who are 18 or older
and is limited to the first 250 participants who sign
up each weekend and claim their Lyft pass. With GW
RevRide, students can feel more confident navigating
the city during their first nights on campus—whether
they’re headed home from a late event, meeting
up with friends, or getting a first look at their new
› neighborhood.
› How to Redeem:
› The Lyft pass will be shared via a general code and
link.
› Students can find the invite link/code in the new
student newsletter.
› Students can only use the single-use pass during the
allotted time frames in the parameters.
