You're invited to The Kalb Report [SPA Event]
Want to see behind-the-scenes of a television show production? The Kalb Report is going to be filming another live episode on November 19th with nightly news legend Tod Koppel, and you’re invited! Join SPAs Bryan and Kevin and volunteer at The Kalb Report, and learn what really goes into a television production. This is a great opportunity for all GW students, but especially if you’re in SMPA! Oh, and you get free pizza too, so it’s a win-win!
Volunteers need to be available between 5:30 and 9:30pm on Monday, November 19th. Send Bryan an email at bkane@gwu.edu by Tuesday, November 13th if you’re able to come, so we can make sure that there’s a role for you!
And if you’re not interested in volunteering, you can still come and sit in the studio audience and watch an awesome show. Get tickets at kalb.gwu.edu before they’re sold out!
Need a Work-Study Job? Tutor DC Elementary Students!
Looking for a work-study or volunteer position for the fall semester or year?
Want to meet some of the most interesting kids in the District?
Love to read?
Check out this great opportunity as a reading tutor as part of DC Reads.
Three out of four public elementary school students in DC perform at or below basic levels in reading and math. All GW students are invited to be a part of the solution by joining DC Reads to tutor elementary school students, to help them succeed in the classroom and beyond!
This is a semester or year-long commitment available to volunteers and to those who are eligible for Federal Work-Study. Applications are due on Friday, Sept. 7th (priority) or Friday, Sept. 21st (final).
The UHP’s own Preston Whitt worked as a tutor his freshman year:
This was an amazing way to get to know parts of the District I would otherwise never have experienced. The kids are wonderful (and even the ones who try your patience are hilarious). I highly recommend volunteering or working for DC Reads, especially to incoming freshman. It will really shape your four years in a great, unique way.
More information about the program and the application process can be found here.
