The GW baseball team grabbed a share of first place in the Atlantic 10 with a three-game weekend sweep of Duquesne at Barcroft Park last weekend. Both Temple and GW (18-11) boast 5-1 conference records. The team dropped just one game for the week, a 10-5 loss to the University of Richmond at Barcroft Park […]
Mount Vernon Executive Dean Grae Baxter explaining GW’s recent decision to settle out of court a lawsuit filed by former Mount Vernon College faculty members whose employment was terminated once the campus became part of GW in 1999: “People settle things for a whole variety of reasons.”
Basketball fans in D.C. were robbed last season when the local CBS affiliate denied us our “One Shining Moment” – the emotional, teary-eyed tournament segment that serves as a finale to the college basketball season. It shows magical highlights of the most shocking of upsets. The triumphs, the defeats, the pain and the joy of […]
The GW gymnastics team looks to make a big leap at this weekend’s NCAA regionals in Gainesville, Fla. The women also hope to make up for a sixth-place showing last season after wrapping up yet another Atlantic 10 title March 24. Saturday’s competition features the top 36 teams in the country. GW finds itself seeded […]
I was disheartened by what took place this weekend in J Street. Scores of rising juniors were left without housing for next year. By number 1,000, barely any options were open to students who wanted to live on campus. The Community Living and Learning Center and Residence Hall Association were negligent.

Princeton University won the tournament and Harvard University finished […]
When only a handful of rooms on the Foggy Bottom campus were available at the beginning of rising junior numbers, many students became flustered or confused. I would like to explain why and what is being done to accommodate students left without housing. This year, a new approach to housing selection was taken to meet […]
The Interfraternity Council informed the Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity’s national organization that it lost IFC recognition in a letter last week, ending a three-month process to finalize the fraternity’s fate at GW. A board of GW fraternity presidents voted to remove Alpha Epsilon Pi from the Interfraternity Council last month, following a decision by GW […]
More than 400 rising juniors left Saturday’s housing lottery homeless for next year after the room selection ended 10 numbers into the process. All 588 seniors with numbers chose housing, but rising junior numbers, which go from 1,000 to 1,999, stopped at 1,010. The Student Association joined Change for Students to organize an overnight protest […]
Almost 4,000 cheering fans packed a sold-out Constitution Hall Saturday night for the eighth annual Bhangra Blowout. The event, sponsored by GW’s South Asian Society, was the highlight of daylong festivities that drew students from around the world. Organizers said that Bhangra Blowout, a competition featuring traditional Indian dances, was a great success. SAS sold […]
