Devin Denoncourt, the general manager, said the $28 million hotel faced holdups in the fall and again in January, putting off its projected opening until after Inauguration weekend – D.C.’s busiest weekend. The hotel plans to build a rela- tionship with the University, he said, extending an invitation for anyone “from the students to the professors to tour the hotel.” Its proximity to campus could draw students’ visit- ing families to stay in one of the 148 rooms. He added that the hotel has had a “comfortable start,” with a mix of parents, businessmen and professors already booking rooms. The hotel features full-access Wi- Fi, outlets, a library and a restaurant, as well as a 24-hour market.

  • 2011-2012 PAF Annual Report
    2011-2012 Presidential Administrative Fellowship Annual Report Letter from the Dean of Students Dear PAF Alumni and Friends: This has been an exciting year of growth and maturation for the Presidential Administrative Fellows (PAF) program. From March to August 2011, the PAF 2020 Task Force—made up of 11 staff, three faculty members, and two current fellows—evaluated every aspect of the PAF experience and made recommendations to bolster the program in the coming decade. Guided by SASS Strategic Initiatives Coordinator Toby Davidow, and SASS Graduate Fellow for Research and Assessment Alden Wells, the task force produced a set of 14 recommendations, endorsed by President Knapp, to further refine and enhance the program and the experience of the fellows. The task force recommendations fell into four areas: enhancing academic success for fellows, expanding rigor and quality standards for our recruitment process, increasing professional development opportunities for fellows and preceptors, and developing a cohort-driven research project, known as the PAF Shared Initiative. Our efforts around enhanced academic engagement began with the re-connection of a dear friend, Dr. Kathryn Newcomer, professor and director of GW’s Trachtenberg School of Public Policy and Public Administration, who returned as the program’s faculty advisor. In this role, Dr. Newcomer supports the academic efforts of the fellows, helps to guide the discussions surrounding the PAF Shared Initiative, and offers wise counsel and unique insights into academic administration and planning. In addition to attending the cohort’s weekly meetings on a consistent basis, she met with the fellows individually to assist with their mentoring and development.

A majority of the students who saw a drop in aid were selected by the De- partment of Education for an audit – a routine procedure to determine whether or not a student’s reported financial sit- uation is accurate – and said they were unaware that they had to submit addi- tional documents in order to satisfy the review. By the time the students realized they were missing documents, it was too late, and GW's $148 million aid pool had already been doled out.
