Experiential learning is becoming central to institutional strategy across higher ed, driven by heightened expectations for demonstrable outcomes, employability, and real-world readiness. Employers want graduates who can apply knowledge.

But experience alone isn't enough. It takes intention, reflection, and mentorship to turn experience into real understanding. This is especially true when developing a global mindset.

That's exactly what The College of Professional Studies is building with the Open Mindset Project as our newest partner.

23 GW students are now enrolled in a four-part curriculum through RevU, GW's lifelong learning platform. Alongside the coursework, each student is matched one-on-one with a Global Guru — an accomplished GW alum representing experience across:

🌏 110+ countries
💼 85+ industries
🗣️ 30 languages

The coursework introduces the concepts. The mentors help students make sense of them, connecting insights to real professional goals so the impact carries into their careers and their lives.

Welcome, GW Revolutionaries, both students and alumni. We can't wait to see what this cohort builds.
