University President Stephen Joel Trachtenberg, in a “town hall meeting” on academic affairs, said the University has “a standing offer to any department that if they can find an outstanding professor of color, we (the University administration) will help recruit them … even if the department lacks the financial assets to bring another professor on.” […]
Community Facilitator Mike Donaldson’s resignation last week makes him the 16th CF out of 82 to quit this year. Last year, 12 CFs left their posts by the end of the school year. While some CFs left this year to study abroad or for medical reasons, others said the Community Living and Learning Center has […]
On Wednesday morning before the inauguration, an important and time sensitive piece of mail was sent to me through the U.S. Postal Service’s express overnight service. According to the package tracking, it arrived on campus on Thursday at 11:42 a.m. I should have, in theory, received that package on Thursday or Friday, maybe even Saturday, […]
The National Gallery of Art has always been a magnet for culturally significant works of art.

Since GW serves as a central location and is the second-largest property owner in the District, its facilities frequently […]
February 15, 2001 GW President Trachtenberg’s house 6 p.m. “President Stephen Joel Trachtenberg and Francine Zorn Trachtenberg request the pleasure of your company.” Wow, a week ago Trachtenberg was just a guy I’d talked to a few times for some quotes, now he was inviting me, an assistant news editor, to his house for a […]
Despite new treatments, a wide understanding of how it is spread and a collective sense that the worst is behind us, the AIDS crisis is by no means over. The horrors of AIDS could only be beginning. Nowhere is the AIDS crisis more acute than in the slums and refugee camps of sub-Saharan Africa, the […]
While neither team shot particularly well in the Colonials’ 58-41 win over conference rival Massachusetts Friday night at the Smith Center, it was GW’s strong defense that made the difference. The defense forced 25 turnovers for easy transition baskets and held UMass’ Kathy Coyner to just six points. Despite guards Kristeena Alexander and Corrin Reid […]
