As an outside hire, we hope incoming provost Ed Balleisen will do the work to empathize with the community and start off the year with a solid understanding of the University and its people, since the position of the provost is one of the most essential positions at a university, serving as the second in command who oversees academic affairs. We believe that Interim Provost John Lach did an exceptional job at making himself available to students and serving as an advocate for faculty. As he prepares to step into the role of GW’s chief academic officer in July, Balleisen should take a page out of Lach’s book.
GW should give equal time and weight to preparing students for financial independence. Many students are lucky to have families that are able to help them with things like credit scores, loans and taxes, but that privilege is not universal, and many students are left to graduate college with little to no knowledge about how to manage their finances. For a school that touts itself as providing an education that sets students up for success in the real world, GW must pour more resources into teaching students financial skills before they graduate.
I will not be leaving GW with a perfected GPA nor academic honors of any kind. However, I could not be more proud of the substantive and impactful measures of development and learning I experienced during my time as a college student. Through extracurriculars, ventures abroad and invaluable career experience, I am entering the “adult world” with multiple pathways at my fingertips and a versatile and adaptable mindset, both of which I acquired outside of the classroom.
Much of the political science experience at GW consists of reading theory from textbooks, engaging in policy discussions and scrambling for internships in government. But while students are caught up in these class discussions and readings, it can be easy to lose sight of the reason we learn about politics in the first place: its effects on humans.
When I began the college search process, the UHP caught my attention for its promise of providing a smaller, more intimate connection with faculty and students within the wider University setting. However, as time progressed and I made my way through my freshman and sophomore years, I became increasingly frustrated with the UHP and how the program failed to live up to my expectations academically — I wanted to partake in a program that challenged me, but I didn’t find that in the UHP.
