Liz Nelson, Off to England!
Our own Liz Nelson writes in to tell us that through the Pembroke Fellowship Program, she’ll be spending next year in England! She writes:
I’ll be studying abroad at the University of Oxford, Pembroke College for the academic year reading Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE). I don’t know what tutorials I’ll be taking yet, but they only do two per semester (with three terms per year), so I’d better choose wisely! Tutorials are the primary mode of instruction at Oxford, and have only 2-4 students.
Applications for next year are due at the beginning of November, so if any freshmen are even considering it, it’s important to be on top of things and apply! I’d definitely be willing to talk to anyone who’s interested about the application process (and I’m sure I’ll talk everyone’s ear off about the experience itself once I get back).
Congrats! Make sure to send us a postcard!

Limited Advising Next Week
If you need an appointment with Catherine or Liz next week, you’ll find it tough to schedule a time online!
They’ll be busy working on admissions materials, so online scheduling for appointments won’t be available.
If you need to speak with one of them, shoot an email to uhp@gwu.edu (or directly to Catherine or Liz if you prefer). They’ll try to answer your questions through email, or if it’s necessary, find a time to schedule an appointment for you the old fashioned way (without the assistance of our robot overlord, Google Calendar.)
Thanks for your flexibility and all hail our glorious and benevolent leader, Google Calendar! (Just agree, we think it’s watching us right now.)
