George Washington University

The George Washington University (GW, GWU, or George Washington) is a private, coeducational research university located in the Foggy Bottom neighborhood of Washington, D.C. with two other campuses including the Mount Vernon campus in the Foxhall neighborhood, as well as the Virginia Science & Technology campus in Loudoun County, Virginia. GW is the largest institution of higher education in the District of Columbia.
George Washington, the first president of the United States, had indicated to Congress through various letters, as well as his last will and testament, that he wanted to establish a university within the nation's capital. Washington left fifty shares of the Potowmack Company in his estate for a national university in the District of Columbia. However, due to the company's financial status, the university never received the shares.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Fate of Washington's Bequest to a National University )〕 The university was chartered by an Act of Congress on February 9, 1821, as the Columbian College in the District of Columbia.〔 In 1904, it changed its name to the George Washington University in honor of Washington.
The university has ten colleges and schools: the Columbian College of Arts and Sciences (which includes the Corcoran School of the Arts and Design, the School of Media and Public Affairs, and the Trachtenberg School of Public Policy and Public Administration); the School of Business, the Elliott School of International Affairs, the Milken Institute School of Public Health, the College of Professional Studies (which includes the Graduate School of Political Management), the School of Engineering and Applied Science, the George Washington University School of Medicine & Health Sciences, the Law School, the School of Nursing, and the Graduate School of Education and Human Development.
GW's Graduate School of Political Management is the only school of applied politics in the nation's capital. GW's professional schools and the Elliott School of International Affairs are consistently ranked highly in national and international college rankings lists.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=The George Washington University )
George Washington is consistently ranked by ''The Princeton Review'' in the top "Most Politically Active" Schools. Some of the university's graduates have gone on to high positions within both the U.S. government and foreign governments. Notable alumni include Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, former Secretary of State Colin Powell, and former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Fast Facts )〕 The school colors are buff and blue, and the sports teams and current and former students in general are called the Colonials.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=GW Traditions )
