This past Tuesday, the Student Association Senate voted to create a special committee on election reform. We did this for one simple reason – there is a dramatic need for change in the way the SA conducts its elections.

As a member of a Division I soccer team, freshman soccer players kick off their college careers with responsibilities and expectations far different from the average first-year student. This season, the GW men’s soccer team added eight freshmen to its roster in the hopes […]

Starting Sept. 24, the National Team’s bus […]
