The GW volleyball team dropped two more conference matches last weekend with home loses to Xavier and Dayton Friday and Sunday. The Colonials now have a five-game Atlantic 10 Conference losing streak. Dayton defeated GW 3-1 Sunday afternoon at the Smith Center.

The GW men’s soccer team split a pair of road matches this weekend, gaining little ground in its pursuit of the final playoff spot. The team dropped a game Sunday at St. Joseph’s after shutting out Temple Friday. The Colonials (5-5, 2-3 A-10) are tied for seventh place in the Atlantic 10 Conference but are […]

Ray Charles carries a bit of mystery wherever he goes. Dressed in a classic suit and wearing his trademark shades, Charles keeps mostly to himself with few words to the press and a no-photo, no-autograph policy.

This year’s show took on a new element, as some students report using the event as a release […]

Homelessness is one social ill that defies attempts at eradication or solutions to what many see as a widespread problem. Indeed, some homeless people choose to remain on the street, and others suffer from a host of problems including mental illness, addiction to alcohol or drugs, serious medical conditions that hamper attempts to progress in […]

It was a successful weekend for the women’s soccer team as the women picked up two conference wins against St. Joseph’s and Temple at home. The Colonials gained some ground in Atlantic 10 standings after ending a three-game conference slide. GW is now 2-3 in the A-10 and 5-6 overall. Christine O’Malley made six saves […]

Although Dr. Amiryar has taught courses as a part-time adjunct faculty member in recent years, his primary work for the past 22 years has been in […]
