The GW gymnastics team scored its highest total of the season Friday to finish second out of three teams at Kent State University. The Colonials’ 195.400 total put them ahead of Bowling Green University’s 194.975 and behind the Golden Flashes’ winning total of 196.350. Senior Rachel Mann led GW, finishing with a 9.900 as the […]

Has anyone seen the GW baseball team play? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Students here go to basketball games, soccer games, lacrosse games and water polo matches. But despite the fact that the program made the NCAA Tournament in 2002 and went 37-18 last year, baseball is almost a forgotten sport. The reason for this is simple. […]

When Georgian President and former GW student Mikhail Saakashvili received an award from University President Stephen Joel Trachtenberg Sunday night, he recalled the last time the two had met. “The last time I saw you in 1995, you gave me a T-shirt,” said Saakashvilli upon receiving the President’s Medal in front of 450 people in […]

GW officials also discussed plans to renovate and convert the historic Quigley’s building to a dining facility, located on the corner of 21st and G streets near the site of the […]

I’ve heard the same story all too often: the performing arts group lacking the funds to put on a concert, the club sport not able to travel to a regional tournament, the student organization without enough money to rent out Lisner Auditorium for an event. My two terms as Student Association executive vice president have […]

Despite winning its previous 10 games heading into this weekend, the GW women’s basketball team had played sluggishly as of late, and it finally caught up with them on the road Sunday. The Colonials were able to extend their winning streak to 11 Friday, barely getting past Rhode Island 60-56. But against a hot-shooting Duquesne […]

Friday’s Martha’s Marathon raised about $15,000 less this year for need-based housing scholarships than last year. Martha’s Marathon is the University’s annual auction of the top five housing picks. Residence Hall President Matt Frisbee said there was a decrease in bids because of student uncertainty in housing availability. Last year, housing officials pushed back selection […]
