Between 10,000 to 12,000 students applied for 150 spots in the University’s School of Medicine and Health Sciences this year, leaving pre-med students at GW concerned about the severe competition they face. The GW medical school is maintaining the number of spaces at 150 as in years past, said Dee Hughes, assistant director of medical […]

The Student Association Student Court dismissed a suit Tuesday that charged SA Executive Vice President Tony Sayegh with allowing “fraudulent voting” at a recent Senate meeting. The charge, made by graduate Sen. Emily Cummins (CSAS), stemmed from the Feb. 24 meeting, during which Cummins said Sayegh willfully violated SA bylaws by allowing two senators to […]

Students have criticized security at Mount Vernon College after administrators waited more than a month to address a missing set of master dormitory keys. MVC students said they felt endangered at the college, which will become a campus of GW in 1999, because the administration did not respond promptly after a resident assistant lost keys […]

With the election of Carrie Potter to the Student Association presidency, we hope the same openness and motivation she exhibited during the campaign will translate into inclusive, driven goals and policies. Now important issues await her – tuning in the SA to student concerns, making it clear to administrators that academic programs are most highly […]
