Our Team
The George Washington University’s Office of Media Relations is the primary source for sharing news at the university for both the media and the GW community alike. Our job is to help tell the thousands of potential GW stories in the most accurate, as well as most up-to-date and compelling, manner as possible.
Our office is responsible for the central university administration and many of our schools and colleges. In need of help with a media inquiry? Contact us:
Our main office phone and email is not a black hole. Your email to our general account goes to the entire media team. This is the best way to contact us if you are unsure of where to turn for help. When we receive it, the most appropriate member of our team will respond. Additionally, the general email account is monitored nights and weekends by our on-call team.
