Matthew O’Gara, a GW lecturer in the University Honors Program and the Elliott School of International Affairs, was named the 2005 District of Columbia Professor of the Year last month. “It’s rather humbling to win an award of this magnitude, especially given that GW is full of excellent teachers and many could have (been) selected […]
