Today, meet eight more couples who were inspired to share their GW love stories. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ Email us at [email protected] for a chance to be featured in the February 2017 Colonial Cable email.
At first, there were no sparks. Brian W. Schoeneman, CCAS ’01, GSPM ’04, and KayAnn Panagi, ESIA ’99, first met at GW’s Academic Center, each of them interested more in the debate team than in each other. It would take almost ten years for them to realize how fortuitous that meeting was, but in the […]
For most medical students, Match Day is a rite of passage, a day to find out where they will spend the next three to seven years as a resident. But for Scott Sexton, SMHS MD ’15, match day was something more. Scott’s fiancé, Stephanie Knapp, SMHS MD ‘14, had matched into Duke Urology upon her […]
What do you do when you’re a gal with two guy friends who also happen to be twins? You end up picking one. At least, that’s what Lauri Mufson, CCAS BA ’76, did after hanging out with the Mufson brothers, Michael and Larry, for a good part of her freshman year. At first, she couldn’t […]
Graduate classes make for great dates. You learn about a person’s ability to follow through on group projects, their level of creativity in presentations, and their sense of humor in late night study groups. Plus, a little healthy GPA competition never hurt anybody. We—Molly McPherson Hollowell, ESIA MA ’13, and Frank Hollowell, ESIA MA ’12—met in […]
When Alexa Mahinka, GWSB MTA ’12, walked into the first day of her “Global Perspectives” class, she was just looking for a seat, not someone to spend the rest of her life with. But there in the back row, she found an open seat—and Mike Kiernan, GWSB MBA ’13 . Alexa sat next to Mike […]
“You would think that with us hanging out in speedos together 20 hours a week, a relationship wouldn’t take long to begin—but it did.” Kristen (Janeczek) Bocanegra, CCAS BA ’99, and Juan Bocanegra, CCAS BA ’00, SEAS, MS ’04, met on the GW pool deck in August of 1996—she was a sophomore and he was […]
It’s that time of year again—as Feb. 14 approaches, we’re excited to share our ninth annual “GW Alumni Valentines” feature! Each of these couples has one thing in common: GW. Find out how they met, how their lives have changed, and why they still love being Colonials! ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ Do you have […]
GW’s Colonial Inauguration (CI) program is meant to bring new students into the GW family fold, but sometimes it brings together two Colonials in a different way. That was the case for Lauren O’Donoghue Whelan, CCAS BA ’09, and Cory Whelan, CCAS BA ’08, MA ’10, who met working as members of the 2007 Colonial […]
They were so close, and yet, so far away. In 1999, both Heather (Kaufman) Rasowsky, GWSPH BS ’06, and Avi Rasowsky, CCAS BA ’05—him, a New York native, and her, a Texas girl—travelled to Mexico City to represent the United States in the Pan American Maccabi Games. Avi was a member the U.S. baseball team, […]
