Staff and faculty at the George Washington University gathered this week for the annual winter celebrations to commemorate the completion of the fall 2025 semester.

This year, there were two different gatherings. The Virginia Science and Technology Campus held its celebration Dec. 9 in Enterprise Hall, while employees at the Foggy Bottom Campus had theirs at the University Student Center on Dec. 11. Both celebrations provided live entertainment, music, refreshments, activities and more. 

GW Today photographers William Atkins, Cara Taylor and Sarah Hochstein captured images from the events.
