Library for the 32nd Annual Chalk-In!!
Chalk-In brings our university community together in advance
of final exams and creates a stress-free zone where anyone can pick up
sidewalk chalk and draw on H Street while enjoying the talents of some
of GW’s best student performance groups in Kogan Plaza. All members of
the university are invited to join the festivities!
Announcing New Changes to Enhance Your Experience
We are happy to announce that as of Monday, March 5, all Group Counseling sessions will be offered at no cost. Group Counseling is intended to assist people who would like to gain support from others, increase their self-awareness, and learn new behaviors to cope with personal and interpersonal challenges. You can read more about what our groups have to offer by selecting Group Counseling under the FAQs link on the left.
In an effort to allow counselors to see more students and combat a significant increase in missed appointments this year students will, starting Monday, March 5, be charged $30 if they fail to show up for a scheduled appointment or cancel less than 24 hours before the appointment time. For more information on what we are doing to improve the UCC please click here.

In the new year, the UCC resolves to continue our commitment to diversity. Please read UCC’s diversity statement.
UCC Diversity Statement
The George Washington University Counseling Center (UCC) is committed to creating a safe and comfortable environment for all students, conducive to the exploration of personal, social, and academic concerns.
As part of our service mission, we require of ourselves a commitment to work toward the recognition and elimination of prejudice and discrimination, especially those kinds which have traditionally impinged upon culturally competent mental health services.
We strive to affirm, promote and celebrate diversity. We are committed to be aware of and understand diversity in its broadest definition. We place a high value on the dignity and worth of individuals regardless of their ethnic/racial identity, sexual orientation, age, sex, religious and spiritual beliefs, socioeconomic status, gender identity, nationality, body shape/size and differences in mental and physical ability. We view this commitment as an ongoing learning journey, never assuming we have quite arrived.
UCC’s commitment to serve GW students and the GW campus community is built on the framework of our values as a multicultural agency that affirms the uniqueness and potential of individuals and that strives towards promoting social justice for all persons. By adhering to this mission, our goal is to embolden students to reach beyond the walls of the GW campus and continue to promote the ideals of social justice for the community at large.
