On April 17, the GW Alumni Association helped sponsor the fourth annual GW Flag Day on campus to thank donors and celebrate the impact of philanthropy. Throughout the day, students gathered in Kogan Plaza to write nearly 2,000 thank you notes and plant more than 600 of George Washington’s commander-in-chief flags around campus to show the locations that have philanthropic meaning to them. The top four spots were Columbian College of Arts and Sciences, Student Life at GW, the Elliott School of International Affairs and Science and Engineering Hall. More than 40 student and staff volunteers spent their day sharing how the university's generous donors have shaped the GW experience. (Photos by William Atkins/GW Today)
