Orientation, Class Year, & Families Programs
At the George Washington University, Orientation, Class Year & Families Programs (OCYFP)
offers and emphasizes intentional programming curated and designed to holistically
engage each student throughout their time at GW. OCYFP collaborates with campus
partners across GW to ensure all students are aware of and understand the community of
respect and support they are entering and expected to uphold. We value the strength of
the diversity of our student body in their identities, backgrounds, experiences, and beliefs,
and train our staff and student leaders to accommodate each student individually in their
transition to GW. We strive to ensure that every student and family member who engages in
an Orientation experience or Class Year Program is heard, appreciated, and supported, and
has the tools and resources to be successful.
Orientation
Orientation programming welcomes all incoming students to the GW community, including
first-year and transfer students in both the fall and spring semesters. We utilize a variety
of methods to best prepare incoming students for personal and academic success at GW,
including newsletters, webinars, educational sessions, and fun and memorable events
both on- and off-campus! We also create opportunities for incoming students to get to
know some of their peers via Small Groups, led by an experienced Orientation Leader to
guide students through their transition to GW and support them during their first weeks on
campus.
Class Year
Class Year Programs are events and engagement opportunities that build affinity and
community for each class year at GW. From helping first-year students explore D.C. with
District Connections, celebrating sophomores at Halfway to Grad, bonding with juniors,
all the way to our unforgettable Senior Week. All class year programming is designed to
provide a lasting and memorable experience for GW students.
Families
GW views the relationship we have with our students’ families as a partnership created
to help students be successful. When families are informed, students benefit. Our office
facilitates ongoing communications with GW families, co-hosts events such as Alumni &
Families Weekend, and provides a variety of resources to support your student and your
family throughout the GW journey.
