Dear Safety & Facilities Team –

August always ushers in the busiest time of year for this team as you all diligently prepare to welcome our students back for the new academic year. I wanted to take a few moments to say the campuses look great, inside and out! Thank you for all your work and effort this summer to get us to this point.

Today we are ready to welcome new and returning students alike, as well as their families. We are ready because of you. Thank you for all you have done individually and collectively throughout each unit and department of Safety & Facilities to prepare for the fall semester while still maintaining excellent daily operations. You have truly made a difference.

There is still much work to be done, especially over the course of the next few weeks. Based on all that I have seen I know this team will continue to deliver and help make our entire community comfortable and happy to be back, and proud to be GW Revolutionaries. Raise High!

I look forward to seeing you during move-in!

With thanks and appreciation,
Sharon Reich Paulsen
Executive Vice President and Chief Administration Officer
