The University will have the option to notify the parents of students who violate alcohol and drug laws and policies under legislation passed by Congress last week.

It has come to my attention that GW sports fans can’t wait for basketball season to start, which is pretty pathetic considering it’s only the first week of October. Some poor lost soul even e-mailed The GW Hatchet last week, telling us we should have a basketball preview section soon. By the way, look for […]
GW Votes registered 500 GW students to vote in the District in its recent drive to increase campus participation in local politics.

GW students were given the afternoon off from classes Tuesday so they could attend that always profound, life-altering event – Opening Convocation.

Valeri Khamenia, a 6-7, 205-pound […]
Tom Penders was introduced as Mike Jarvis’ successor as men’s basketball coach Thursday, promising up-tempo, exciting basketball. “I just can’t wait to coach this group of young men,” Penders said at a press conference in the Smith Center. “We’re going to have fun and we’re going to fill this arena. We have all the pieces […]
Mike Jarvis’ GW coaching career began with a loss – a tough loss. Jarvis brought new excitement to a downtrodden men’s basketball program in 1991. The team was 1-27 just two years before he arrived and hadn’t had a winning season in seven years. Members of Jarvis’ family flew in from Boston to see his […]
