News FAQs

Why was my news article not published?

Our news items serve to benefit GW Law’s impact in the world, inspire our prospective students, and engage with our alumni. If your news item does not serve one of these pillars at this time, we may decide not to publish your story. If you would like to discuss this further please reach out to Libby Stanford (elizabeth [dot] stanfordlaw [dot] gwu [dot] edu (elizabeth[dot]stanford[at]law[dot]gwu[dot]edu)).
