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 are monitored 24/7. Your email to our 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 your message, the most appropriate member of our team will respond.
