CCAS Student Spotlight- Yancey Burns, on why he chose GW

“When I made the decision to go back to school after many years as a government attorney, I wanted to study at a university where I could engage in hands-on learning from professors who have worked in in the field of Strategic Communication. The George Washington University has provided me with exactly that. My professors have worked in the White House, for major news networks, and at the forefront of the strategic communications industry.

Additionally, as experts in this field, the faculty have been more than willing to share their knowledge, experience, and professional network with me. Having an opportunity to learn from real-world practitioners has prepared me to take what I am learning in the classroom and apply it directly to my next job. No other university could have offered me what I am getting from the George Washington University, and it is a privilege to study here.”

Yancey Burns is a second-year Master’s student, enrolled in Media and Strategic Communication and Documentary Filmmaking
