The university has been collaborating closely with District, state and federal partners to prepare for Election Day. The university will continue to update the Election Day Safety website as additional resources or information becomes available.
There is no information currently that suggests a specific threat to GW or other area campuses or institutions. However, as with any significant national election, we encourage all members of our community to be prepared for demonstrations and the potential for confrontations that can result among protesters, counter-protesters, and law enforcement. Protecting safety and law and order will be the foremost priority in the District on Election Day.
The university will continue to monitor updates and communicate timely safety information on Campus Advisories and through GW Alerts via email and text message. All students, faculty, and staff receive GW Alerts by email; however, you must opt in to receive GW Alerts by text.
