Some students told GW housing officials and Residence Hall Association leaders this week they are unhappy with the University’s decision to discard the residence hall lottery fee waiver. “I run into walls,” first-semester senior Aaron Albright said at a Tuesday meeting with Community Living and Learning Center representatives and RHA members. “I’m worried I’m going […]

I was watching Duke University destroy the University of Maryland on ESPN last night. A week before, the not-so-mighty Georgetown University played on ESPN and found a way to blow its halftime lead against shaky top-ranked University of Connecticut.

A lovable nerd’s coming-of-age. Unrequited love. Schoolboy rebellion. A bizarre love triangle. At first glance, it would seem that Rushmore (Touchstone) simply is pressing all the Hollywood buttons. Look again. Teeming with finely crafted characters, sincere and witty moments, and a deeper social commentary, this film is fresh, smart and uncommonly endearing. Rushmore is the […]

For Deborah Shore, caring is not enough. For more than two decades, the founder and leader of Sasha Bruce Youthworks, D.C.’s only emergency center for young people, has helped countless children and teens better their lives by providing them safety, security and most of all, love. GW honored her lifelong, personal outreach to Washington’s endangered […]
