The video is part of a national campaign to promote inclusiveness and diversity on campus. GW joined the #YouAreWelcomeHere campaign earlier this year. The national effort started in November 2016 to send a message of inclusivity from U.S. higher education to international students around the world. Participating universities have been using the #YouAreWelcomeHere hashtag on social media and creating videos like GW’s to promote support of all community members on campuses.
More than 100 colleges and universities are participating in the initiative. GW has also displayed posters all over campus that say “You Are Welcome Here” in multiple languages.
