Clone of Orientation

Welcome to Orientation at GW Law!

The Dean of Students Office is thrilled you will be joining our community.

Orientation for the evening JD program will be Tuesday, August 11 from 6 pm – 9:30 pm and orientation for the full-time JD program will be held Wednesday, August 12 – Friday, August 14.

Participation is mandatory for incoming students. Consistent with the law school's plans for the fall academic semester, all mandatory sessions and required information for students will be delivered online--either synchronously or asynchronously. Therefore, students will be able to participate remotely. For those students who choose to participate, the Dean of Students Office and the Student Bar Association are also planning in-person, community-building events.

We will be posting more information on orientation events in the coming weeks.

If you have any questions, please contact us at deanofstudentslaw [dot] gwu [dot] edu.
