Baby Shower centerpiece

Held twice a year, this event is specially planned for GW faculty and staff and their significant others who are expecting and/or adopting. The Baby Shower is a fun and supportive way to learn about helpful GW benefits such as parental leave, health benefits for the new child, childcare, breastfeeding support, and back-up care, as well as to network with other expecting colleagues.
