The Student Association passed a resolution Tuesday demanding that GW continue its tradition of holding Commencement on the Ellipse. While students and administrators agree that the Ellipse is the best venue for the ceremony, factors beyond the University’s control may force GW to seek another site.

We were disappointed to see that The Hatchet chose not to cover the project even though one of our coordinators personally came by The Hatchet office to […]
the first time in eight years after clinching a playoff berth this weekend by punishing Xavier 4-1 at South Riding Field. Heading into Friday’s game, GW (9-5-2, 6-3-1 A-10) was in fourth place, needing one win and a Duquesne loss to clinch the final qualifying spot for the Atlantic 10 Championships.
