Some students attend GW for its setting in the home of power politics. Others are attracted by its School of Business and proximity to Fortune 500 companies. But 40 undergraduates are attending GW to participate in a small program, not even housed on the University’s main campus: interior design. “I did not want to go […]
Mayor Anthony Williams praised the efforts of a handful of students who have studied and promoted black culture at a Friday luncheon for the group at the Alumni House. The students – eight male and one female – are members of the George Washington Williams House, a living and learning community studying the history of […]
Our view: Gauging student opinion more exhaustively could have resulted in a smoking ban proposal that addressed the needs of all students. Earlier this month, the University, on recommendations made by the Residence Hall Association, enacted a ban on smoking in all residence halls to begin next year. While the RHA was attempting to work […]
With Spring Break just around the bend, the GW student body is hard at work trying to tone up and lean down. While many students make daily or weekly visits to the Lerner Health and Wellness Center (“Hell Well”), for others, it is an annual event reserved almost exclusively for the winter weeks following an […]
Last year my campaign slogan was “Stop the Apathy.” One of my primary goals for my term as president was to get more people involved in and aware of the Student Association.

Senior Anna Monta?ana appears to be peaking at the right time. After scoring a career-high 26 points in a 65-60 win over St. Joseph’s Thursday, she came up big again Sunday.

Last Thursday, for the first time in a while, the SA news actually reported on something the organization is trying to do that would benefit students. Then last Monday, the SA reverted back to its old problems. […]
As Ohio goes, so goes the regular season. The situation might not be as dramatic as the old political adage attests, but with wins at Dayton and Xavier this week, the GW men’s basketball team will be two steps closer to its first Atlantic 10 West title since 1999. The Colonials (17-5, 9-3 A-10) will […]
Affirmative action study met with controversy (U-WIRE) BERKELEY, Calif. – A recent study that found affirmative action hurts black students’ performance in law school has stirred up controversy among faculty and students at law schools across the nation. The report, published in the Stanford Law Review in December, revealed that many black students are unable […]
You had to feel for Duquesne coach Danny Nee on Saturday. The man came into the Smith Center in the midst of what is now a 6-19 season, and his team was listless. If the Dukes really believed they could win at GW, it was sure hard to tell. It looked more like they had […]
