Karen Stroud Felton | Dean of Admissions

Every spring, the university hosts Inside GW, giving admitted students an opportunity to get a look at life in Foggy Bottom. There is a palpable energy on those days, Ms. Felton said.

"All of our admitted students and families are along the north side of the arena. It's really a high-energy start to the day. George [the mascot] always walks me out—all the speakers stand on this raised podium. And I always feel this sense of pride when I stand and look up at all the potential new members of the GW community. College campuses, for me, represent possibility. I stand there and look up at the families and am so overwhelmed with pride as I think about the amazing four years that lay ahead for them."
