Students can strengthen their civic leadership and interpersonal skills through the Nashman Center’s leadership training and workshops.

Institute for Citizen Leaders

The Institute for Citizen Leaders (ICL) is a two day institute hosted by units across GW’s Office for Diversity, Equity, and Community Engagement (ODECE) that explores the intersections of community engagement and diversity, preparing students for their roles as leaders in community and civic engagement both on campus and in the D.C. community.

Students have the opportunity to interact and work with GW administrators, faculty, staff and expert facilitators to understand the core values and vision of inclusive excellence, social responsibility and innovative thinking that is a hallmark of the GW educational experience.

Student leaders from the Nashman Center, Disability Support Services, the Multicultural Student Services Center, the Title IX Office, along with student leaders from the Cisneros Hispanic Leadership Institute, the Student Association and the Stephen Joel Trachtenberg (SJT) Scholars have attended the institute.

If you are interested in having your group participate in the institute please reach out to us at [email protected] or [email protected].
