  • DC City Guide
    DC City Guide Page | 1 Washington, D.C. Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States and the seat of its three branches of government, has a collection of free, public museums unparalleled in size and scope throughout the history of mankind, and the lion's share of the nation's most treasured monuments and memorials. The vistas on the National Mall between the Capitol, Washington Monument, White House, and Lincoln Memorial are famous throughout the world as icons of the world's wealthiest and most powerful nation. Beyond the Mall, D.C. has in the past two decades shed its old reputation as a city both boring and dangerous, with shopping, dining, and nightlife befitting a world-class metropolis. Travelers will find the city new, exciting, and decidedly cosmopolitan and international. Districts Virtually all of D.C.'s tourists flock to the Mall—a two-mile long, beautiful stretch of parkland that holds many of the city's monuments and Smithsonian museums—but the city itself is a vibrant metropolis that often has little to do with monuments, politics, or white, neoclassical buildings. The Smithsonian is a "can't miss," but don't trick yourself—you haven't really been to D.C. until you've been out and about the city. Page | 2 Downtown (The National Mall, East End, West End, Waterfront) The center of it all: The National Mall, D.C.'s main theater district, Smithsonian and non- Smithsonian museums galore, fine dining, Chinatown, the Verizon Center, the Convention Center, the central business district, the White House, West Potomac Park, the Kennedy Center, George Washington University, the beautiful Tidal Basin, and the new Nationals Park.

  • FINAL REPORT of Special Committee on Marvin Center Name
    Report of the Special Committee on the Marvin Center Name March 30, 2021 I. INTRODUCTION Renaming Framework The George Washington University Board of Trustees approved, in June of 2020, a “Renaming Framework,” designed to govern and direct the process of evaluating proposals for the renaming of buildings and memorials on campus.1 The Renaming Framework was drafted by a Board of Trustees- appointed Naming Task Force, chaired by Trustee Mark Chichester, B.B.A. ’90, J.D. ’93. The Task Force arrived at its Renaming Framework after extensive engagement with the GW community.2 Under the Renaming Framework, the university President is to acknowledge and review requests or petitions related to the renaming of buildings or spaces on campus. If the President finds a request for renaming “to be reasonably compelling when the guiding principles are applied to the particular facts,” the President is to: (1) “consult with the appropriate constituencies, such as the Faculty Senate Executive Committee, leadership of the Student Association, and the Executive Committee of the GW Alumni Association, on the merits of the request for consideration”; and (2) “appoint a special committee to research and evaluate the merits of the request for reconsideration.”3 Appointment of the Special Committee President LeBlanc established the Special Committee on the Marvin Center Name in July of 2020, and appointed Roger A. Fairfax, Jr., Patricia Roberts Harris Research Professor at the Law School as Chair. The Special Committee consists of ten members, representing students, staff, faculty, and alumni of the university, and two advisers, both of whom greatly assisted the Special Committee in its work.4 The Special Committee’s Charge Under the Renaming Framework, the charge of the Special Committee is quite narrow.
