Student Advisory Board

Mission

The University Resilience Safety & Security Student Advisory Board (SAB) aims to create greater transparency and partnership between GW's student body and university administrators regarding campus safety. The SAB identifies campus safety concerns, generates initiatives, and provides feedback to GW leadership that is then actioned into enhancing safety at the university. The SAB meets monthly to discuss a wide array of safety and security topics, including emergency communications, mental and behavioral health, and physical safety.
