#012: YOU are GW Bound!
(One of GW sports' favorite songs, played at every basketball game - "Welcome to DC")
Under 10 days. That’s less than 1.4285
weeks, less than 240 hours, less than 14,400 minutes, and less than 864,000
seconds. THAT means that the countdown to GW Bound (@GWDCBound) has begun! GW Bound is a
program presented by the Center for Student Engagement (@GW_CSE) that welcomes incoming students to GW’s campus to allow them to settle
in to life at GW. More importantly, these incoming students venture out before
other students move in on a mission to get to know the place you’ll be living
for the next 4 years and the people you’ll be getting to know over these next 4
years.
Don’t fret, though—GW isn’t throwing you
out in the wild—literally (in the case of Adventure Bound!) or figuratively. An
eclectic, excellent cast of GW sophomores, juniors, and seniors will serve as
the guides for all of the co-curricular programs. As you probably could have
guessed, I myself am a guide for D.C. Bound. In fact, I just found out today
that I’ll be taking my group to a bunch of places throughout D.C., including
the Newseum and other media-related destinations. My guide partners, Sophie and
Emma, and I will have a grand ol’ time with incoming students as we travel
around the city, representing GW and showing our new friends just some of the
sources of our Hippo pride, so to speak.

After GW Bound, right before classes
start, I will definitely post whatever pictures and video I have from the whole
process, from the start of training on the 16th to the final day of
it all on the 24th. Hopefully, whether this year or sometime in the
future, I hope you get a chance to experience GW Bound. My own experience was
stellar. I still have my “Experience D.C.” t-shirt, along with all of the
memories from those first few days before classes.
In closing, I'll let some of the CSE staff sum it up for you! Take it away, Heather, Ellie, and Lyndsey!
Thanks for reading!
Stay spirited (and, as always, feel free
