Commencement Details

GW is committed to providing universal access to all of our events including Commencement on the National Mall and school celebrations.

GW will celebrate the Class of 2026 on Sunday, May 17, on the National Mall at 10:30 a.m.

All schools and colleges will host a celebratory experience for their graduating students in May. At GW these are called "school celebrations."
