Buff & Bloom Week, the George Washington University Division for Student Affairs springtime celebration of community, featured events across the Foggy Bottom and Mount Vernon campuses last week. This end-of-semester tradition gave students the opportunity to focus on wellbeing with yoga classes, celebrate the accomplishments of their peers at the Night of Excellence, and get creative at the annual Chalk In.

From Drag Show Bingo to Halfway to Graduation celebrating the sophomore class, and a Late Night Art Show at Buff & Brew, there was something for everyone to enjoy. April showers brought the Blossom Street Market indoors, but did not dampen the cherry blossom-themed fun.

GW Today photographers William Atkins, Florence Shen and Lily Speredelozzi captured images from the week:
