Class of 2026 Share GW Memories
MARGOT DIAMOND, BA JOURNALISM
AND MASS COMMUNICATION
The School of Media & Public Affairs “gave me one-of-a-kind
experiences that I cherish, including the opportunity to hear
directly from journalists and political leaders as they were
actively covering and shaping that moment. That time helped
fuel my future career interests in media and is something I will
always associate with my time at GW and in D.C.”
MADELEINE MUIR, BFA
INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE
“Some of my favorite memories at GW were the times
that I spent abroad studying art and design. In both
my short-term trip to Barcelona to study human
wellness in the built environment and my semester
abroad in Florence, I was able to become fully
immersed in the culture. [It] endlessly strengthened
my education and experiences as I move forward with
my career post-graduation.”

JUSTIN LIU, BA CRIMINAL JUSTICE
“One of my favorite memories at GW was taking University
Writing 1020 with Professor Carol Hayes during my first year.
As a first-generation college student and immigrant, writing had
always been my weakest area, and I came into the class unsure of
myself. But Professor Hayes completely changed that. Her class,
fittingly titled I’m a Bad Writer, created a space where I could
learn without fear of being wrong.”
