History of the UCC

The University Counseling Center at GW was established in the mid 1940's. Originally it was organized to provide educational/vocational assessment for World War II veterans. By the early 1960's, the Center was evolving into its present form. The past 60 years have witnessed many changes in services, staff, and clientele.

The University Counseling Center (UCC) is housed within the Division of Student and Academic Support Services (SASS).  The UCC consults and collaborates with all of these departments in providing services or programs for students and, occasionally, training for their staffs. The UCC is dedicated to improving the quality of student life and to enhancing the educational experience of students at GW. Services and programs are designed to assist students with their transition to and from GW, their growth and development while at GW, and personal, social, career, and academic problems that can interfere with their educational goals.
