Since the mission of GW is to serve the academic and other scholarly needs of our students above all else, I perform a precarious balancing act when I weigh the merits of the many compassionate appeals I receive to support worthy causes. My discretionary budget is limited, and I use it sparingly so that my […]

The Neighbors Project, a GW community outreach program, will not receive funding from Americorps next year, but will recruit students this month to coordinate the group’s 13 D.C. sites. Americorps only provides funds for two three-year cycles, which GW’s group has already completed, Neighbor’s Project Coordinator Stacy Blumenthal said. The volunteer group will still operate […]

I read with interest the March 8 article on vandalism at the Dakota – and the possibility of all residents footing the bill unless the real perpetrators are turned in (“GW may charge for damage,” p. 2). I have strong feelings on this subject having taught at a private college where a few rich alcoholic […]

GWPride spent last week combating homophobia and teaching students about gay and lesbian issues by hosting a transgender speaker, activism sessions, a preview of a local play and movie screenings during their annual Out and About Week. St. Thomas Parish, a church in Dupont Circle, hosted a preview of I Want to Tell You, a […]

The article, “Xavier shoots down GW in title match” is the best I have ever read in The Hatchet’s sports section (March 8, p. 12).

A shot rings out down the hall. Confusion, then terror spreads across the faces of teachers and students. Another community has become the victim of “random” violence, of the prevalence of guns; America is again shocked by the rage of a child. Too often school shootings splash across the pages of national newspapers like so […]

<cp_showmedia position="2" align="right"Roger Kapoor regained his claim to the Student Association presidency Thursday night as the SA Student Court overturned a Joint Election Committee ruling that had invalidated his victory. In a unanimous verdict, the Student Court said JEC members overstepped their authority by ruling on an issue for which there was no complaint, according […]

I have talked with many of you now that the campaigns have ended and the votes have been cast. While some of you saw the campaign cycle of the past few weeks as an annoyance, I was pleased to hear how many of you see how good the election process is for GW and its […]

Larry King made a surprise appearance at the Media and Public Affairs building during a ceremony Thursday to commemorate Westwood One Radio’s donation of more than 1,000 reel-to-reel tapes to GW. The collection includes 50 years of radio news coverage, including reporting during World War II, original Larry King programs and the “World Today” news […]
