Research Day
Undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral students have the opportunity to showcase their work and compete for prize money at the Annual Research Days. This event is dedicated to highlighting the breadth of research, creative scholarship, and cultural discovery on issues of major disciplinary, multidisciplinary, and global significance being done at GW by students and postdoctoral researchers.
Match Day
Match Day is a very special event here at SMHS, where its fourth-year medical students are “matched” for residency at a ceremony on campus.
