History and Mission Founded in 2001, GW Class Council (also known as GWCC) is a student government organization whose mission is to promote class unity through social, academic, and community programming. We distinguish ourself as a small, accessible, non-political organization on campus to which any student can direct his or her creativity and suggestions.

Promote activeness and involvement in student life at GW;
Develop professional and personal relationships between students through programming and events;

Maintain a positive and productive relationship with GW and Foggy Bottom through service to the community.
Committees GW Class Council is currently comprised of four class committees (freshman, sophomore, junior and senior). Each academic year, GWCC's class committees strive to plan and host a multitude of events that cater to the interests of each class as a whole. GW Class Council also has three special committees (international, community service, transfer/exchange committees).
