Partners can co-establish new research centers. They can team on third party proposals. They can invest in attracting talented students to the region by sponsoring graduate fellows who become dedicated employees while pursuing a masters or doctoral degree - and then consider these students for permanent employment upon graduation, easing the workforce gap. To become more fully integrated into the Commonwealth's higher education infrastructure, The George Washington University Virginia Campus is also pursuing important partnerships with the state's public and private colleges and universities. GW is recognized for its ability to complement Virginia's impressive education and research capacity.
Partners can join the Virginia Campus Corporate Liaison Program .
This initiative offers organizations a formal mechanism to actively engage with GW faculty and graduate students and receive tangible benefits valued at many times greater than the annual fee. Tuition discounts, access to library research services, complimentary invitations to seminars, symposia, and special events, use of meeting rooms and facilities, and most importantly, a single point of contact to kindle multiple teaming relationships give Corporate Liaison Program members a distinct advantage. Partners also participate in a vibrant campus life. Through the In Concert and Conversation arts and cultural series, the Virginia Campus brings the community together to enjoy chamber music, poetry, and fiction readings in a coffeehouse setting, and discussions about modern art, theatre, or English gardens in Virginia. The series links outstanding faculty experts from GW with recognized community leaders and talent to enrich and enliven the quality of life.
