About
The George Washington University has set a goal to make all its campuses in the District and Virginia smoke-free in fall 2013. George Washington President Steven Knapp will make the pledge as part of the American Cancer Society’s 37th annual Great American Smokeout. By doing so, we will join more than 800 other U.S. colleges and universities that have made the conscious decision to eliminate smoking campus-wide.
