GW students are fond saying what an asset living in D.C. is for their education. The University plays up the D.C. angle, too. But when students are given the opportunity to take advantage of D.C.’s special qualities, few do.

At the risk of sounding redundant, I am not going to retell any of my personal 4-RIDE disappointments. However, the article in which University Police Department Director Dolores Stafford states that she has received no complaints about 4-RIDE points to the obvious.

A home win against the University of Hartford would be a nice start to the women’s basketball season. But head coach Joe McKeown said he is more concerned about defining roles in his early games than notching wins. McKeown is less concerned with Hartford’s lineup, which includes 12 returning starters from last year’s NCAA Tournament […]
Sikh students hosted a dinner and discussion to educate the GW community about their religion. About half of the 100 students attended were non-Sikh, organizers said. Sikhism, which draws aspects from Hinduism and Islam, is a monotheistic, nonviolent religion that accepts all faiths. Backlash against Sikhs has been reported after the Sept. 11 attacks, often […]
