Social media pages like the Class of 2024 s Instagram page are among the ways freshmen are connecting virtually with their classmates.
When Melanie Campbell found out her freshman year would be held virtually, she signed up for any student organizations that fit her interests.
Campbell put her name down for GW Balance, the Student Association, GW College Democrats and the GW Choir, hoping to make friends remotely. She said those connections helped her find upperclassmen mentors and freshmen peers who share her interests, and she’s held on to those connections heading into an online spring semester.
