Last weekend, the International Monetary Fund held a meeting with the World Bank.
The IMF’s International Monetary and Financial Committee attended the meeting, as well as the IMF and World Bank’s Development Committee. It had implications for the world and came to conclusions that can be found here: http://www.imf.org/external/np/cm/2011/041611a.htm
The IMF is located about 1 block off campus creating part of the “in the middle of it all” atmosphere at GWU, however, it also means the implications of closing down many streets surrounding the building. Some students happen to find this extremely irritating. Most students, especially near Thurston and Potomac, agreed that it made getting around rather difficult. Because of the closed down street, taxies were harder to find. On top of this, some streets were also blocked and one could not walk on them.
These implications can cause difficulties on the specific days of the meetings, however, these difficulties come at a good cause for the world.
