About Colonial Community

The George Washington University is a community of learning dedicated to communication, respect, service, and teamwork.  

The Colonial Community program supports these competencies through a focus on recognition, community building, and work life balance programs for GW Employees.

Core Operational Competencies

  • Community
  • Learning
  • Communication
  • Respect
  • Service
  • Teamwork

These core operational competencies were initially developed by the Employee Culture and Appreciation Subcommittee of the Employee Core Group in February 2004.  They have been further expanded and put into action.

Subcommittees

The various subcommittees under Colonial Community are divided into specialization areas.  Each subcommittee works to create University-wide activities, events and resources which fall under this specialization.

We are currently in the process of re-structuring our subcommittees!

Proposed subcommittees include Recognition, Community Building, Health & Recreation, Work-Life and Communications.

To learn more about each subcommittee, check out: http://colonialcommunity.gwu.edu/about/Subcommittees/
