A MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN

Dear CPS Community and friends,

As we turn the page on another exciting academic year, I’m filled with gratitude and pride for all that we’ve accomplished together. Let's take a moment to celebrate the achievements that are shaping our community right now—and to extend a warm welcome to our newest members, the Class of 2026!

Congratulations again to our 2026 graduates! You are now part of GW’s extensive alumni network with more than 320,000 alumni located around the world.

Our 2026 Commencement season highlights include a photo gallery, a video replay of the livestreamed CPS Graduation Celebration ceremony, celebration program download, distinguished speaker & student speaker information and 2026 award winners.

Warm regards,

Liesl Riddle, Ph.D.

Dean, College of Professional Studies
