Stories from the November 1, 1999 issue of the GW Hatchet.
I would like to thank the Student Association for endorsing a resolution supporting the unionization efforts of GW teaching assistants and part-time faculty. This is an instance in which the SA is truly acting on behalf of the best interests of students at GW, for we need the GTAAA as much as the part-time faculty […]
The women’s soccer team split two Atlantic10 home matches over the weekend to end its tough season with an overall record of 3-15-1. GW sophomore Tiffany Williams shined over the weekend, giving the team much to look forward to in the future. Williams scored three goals over the two-game span while senior Katy McQuillin scored […]
GW President Stephen Joel Trachtenberg visited my residence hall, Lafayette Hall, last Tuesday night as part of the Presidential Sleepover.
