Faculty and Staff: Explore Ways to Tour Open Enrollment Information

This year’s Open Enrollment (OE) period will feature both in-person and virtual opportunities for support. We invite you to join us for our annual in-person fest experience, where activities vary by location and may include complimentary vision screenings and vaccine clinics to the Human Resource Management & Development's Fall Social, massages, a fitness class and more! You’ll also have the chance to speak directly with GW benefit plan providers and receive assistance with the enrollment process. Virtual webinars, led by our vendor partners, will be offered throughout OE to provide details about the 2026 benefit programs.

New this year, we’re introducing a Benefits Enrollment Support Drop-In event on October 23—a smaller, one-stop opportunity designed to help you make informed decisions about benefits tied to Open Enrollment. At this event, you can explore benefit options, ask questions, receive personalized guidance from the GW Benefits team and participating vendor partners, and complete your enrollment on-site. For more information about upcoming Open Enrollment events, please visit go.gwu.edu/2026oeevents. 

Aetna will be available for 10-minute one-on-one appointments to discuss questions that may arise as you review information and make your choices for the upcoming year. Appointments can be booked by visiting go.gwu.edu/2026oeevents.
