CORRECTION: Federal Work Study and the Government Shutdown

Earlier today, WRGW published a story discussing the potential effects of a government shutdown on GW students. This story erroneously reported that all students with Federal Work Study would be barred from working in the event of a government shutdown. In fact, only students who work for the federal government will be affected in most instances. Students working under FWS for the University or private organizations will not be affected unless their employer informs them otherwise. FWS students are advised to follow the instructions of the GWU Career Center and their respective employers for further guidance.

We sincerely apologize for the mistake.
