Eager to prepare GW students for the wide world, each semester the Class Council schedules private lectures with succesful alumni.  We can go learn at the feet of people who've succeeded at the kinds of things people go into after graduating from GW.  Like banking.  And lobbying.  And...um...banking. 

But this Friday is the most exciting dinner of them all.  Anousheh Ansari ('92) will give a lecture on How To Become a...Private Space Explorer.

Ansari, sometimes referred to as "the first space tourist," will share exactly what it took to get her into space.

The answer is probably "a shitload of money."
Perhaps she will teach her audience how to make a shitload of money.
That'd be cool.
