If the upcoming 2004 GW men’s basketball season was a Dickens’ novel, it would be “Great Expectations,” not “Hard Times.” Wait, what did I just say?

But in the offseason, the Colonials have spent their time retooling and changing their style of play. The 2003 squad featured seniors Ruth Lazzari, Lauren Dunning and Sarah Hokom, […]
Despite police checkpoints and some blocked roads in Foggy Bottom, last weekend’s move-in process proceeded without any significant complications to the relief of students, parents and University officials. “It’s gone tremendously smoothly – just as smoothly as last year,” GW spokesman Eric Solomon said. He attributed the success to “early planning and communication” between Metropolitan […]
