Citizenship students combined with Mr. Whicker's Religion class in a panel discussion with SG alumnus Caleb Whitehead. We discussed his lead work with NASA's Orion Program on the soon to launch Artemis-I moon mission. Other topics? Work-life balance, engineering, and philosophy.

SG Citizenship alum Omar Yunus and GWU sophomore engages Andy Shallal, owner and founder of the iconic Busboys and Poets DC restaurant chain, with whom we all had the privilege to share a dinner and a talk!

Here are highlights from the Institute trip to Washington DC this Winter. It seems like forever-ago, and a different time. Thankful for great memories, and for the privilege of offering students this opportunity JUST before everything got crazy!
