3 | GRADUATION CELEBRATION 2020

A MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN

Anuj MehrotraDean

As we push through what is arguably the most challenging time we have faced as a society in living memory, the resilience demonstrated by our GWSB community has been impressive. The Class of 2020—and the entire George Washington University School of Business community—deserves to be congratulated for its outstanding adaptability, perseverance, and can-do spirit in overcoming the disruptions and meeting the challenges brought about by the global crisis.

Despite the current situation, we are not going to let this moment pass without celebrating you and your graduation. Although we are holding “virtual” commencement ceremonies this spring, there is nothing virtual about your achievement, so I am proud to offer my sincere, actual congratulations to the Class of 2020! I hope each of you will be able to accept GW President Thomas LeBlanc’s invitation to join the Class of 2021 on the National Mall next May for our traditional graduation ceremony.

Whether you earned a four-year degree, a graduate degree or doctorate, you can all be proud of what you have achieved. You have successfully completed a rigorous course of study at one of the world’s finest institutions, gaining the knowledge, skills and aptitude necessary to compete—and excel—in today’s global business environment. You have also earned something equally valuable: membership in the GWSB alumni community, a 50,000-strong, worldwide network of dynamic individuals who have compiled a remarkable record of success in countless fields of endeavor. I urge you to stay engaged and stay in touch with your classmates, as well as those who have gone before at GWSB. I guarantee in the years to come you will find the GWSB alumni community to be an enormous professional asset.

While commencement is an important life milestone, signifying a new beginning, the start of professional career or the pursuit of additional, advanced academic challenges, I would also urge you to stay connected with GWSB. Your education was enhanced significantly by former GWSB students who gave generously of their time and talents in sharing their “real-world” business experience with current students. I hope the students who follow you can count on you to “pay it forward.” I ask each of you to do your part (and then some) to be a supportive member of our great community.

I am confident that your GWSB education has equipped you to succeed in today’s business environment and in adapting to its shifting demands. Digital media innovator Jay Samit, independent vice chairman of Deloitte, was on the mark when he said, “Lifelong learning is no longer a luxury but a necessity for employment.” At GWSB, we are committed to the concept of lifelong learning. You can count on us to be here for you to offer the resources you need to continue learning. Whether you are looking to up-skill, re-skill or change career paths, we invite you to “Return + Learn” at GWSB.

Again, congratulations and best wishes for your every future success.

All the best,

Anuj Mehrotra, Ph.D. Dean The George Washington University School of Business

GW SCHOOL OF BUSINESS LIFELONG LEARNING

The George Washington University School of Business

Business Education Reimagined

At GWSB, we are focused on how business education must change to keep pace with—in fact, stay ahead of—the changing business landscape. Experts forecast that in the coming decades the rapid rate of change and development in business will require continual workforce retraining—true “lifelong learning.” That is why we have reimagined our suite of academic programs—both undergraduate and graduate—to meet the demands of the marketplace (now and in the future).

GWSB now offers a highly customizable M.B.A. degree, an accelerated M.B.A. program for working professionals, “no templates” online courses and degree programs, a wide range of professional graduate certificates that can be “stacked” to build custom master’s degrees, as well as 4+1 programs, which allow students to apply undergraduate credits toward a master’s degree.

Visit business.gwu.edu to learn more about these exciting, innovative, new business education programs.

GWSB First in Innovation. First in Customization. First in Lifelong Learning.
