Thirty years ago, a gunman silenced the voice of Martin Luther King Jr. in Memphis, Tennessee. In the decades since, people have attempted to gauge America’s progress after days of segregation and freedom marches. Unfortunately, the dream King envisioned of white children and black children playing together happily – oblivious to the differences in their […]

The member organizations of Hillel’s Israel 50th committee are happy to announce to the student community that a myriad of events celebrating the 50th anniversary have been planned for April and early May.

He appeared on numerous television programs defending the […]

The GW gymnastics team entered Saturday’s 1998 NCAA Southeastern Regional Championships in Athens, Ga. as the sixth seed at the meet. When the meet was over, the team had finished in sixth place with a team score of 191.150 in what was most likely the final competition of the season for GW. The University of […]

(U-WIRE) The truth about interviewing is that most initial interviews only last about 5 minutes. Oh sure, the actual interview always takes longer than that – 30 minutes, 45 minutes. Sometimes even an hour. But the interview is typically over in just five minutes. In that first five minutes of the interview, I will have […]
