Honey W. Nashman Center for Civic Engagement and Public Service
Serve. Learn. Lead.
Change the World.
The Honey W. Nashman Center supports the diverse ways GW faculty and students contribute to the community, including direct service; community engagement through courses, practica, or research that create a public benefit; policy and governance; philanthropy; social innovation; and community organizing and activism.
We really need your support! Unfortunately, we recently lost access to our Instagram account along with all of our followers and content. We’ve launched a new account and are rebuilding from scratch.
Please follow our new Instagram (@gw.serves) and help us spread the word by sharing it with students, partners, and friends!
The Inaugural GW President’s Service Award recognizes GW students, faculty, and staff for public service in their communities.
