The 2003 season was the last time the GW volleyball team compiled a season worth referencing. The Colonials ended that season 21-11, finishing third in the Atlantic 10, losing in the first round of the tournament to eventual champion Dayton. GW started off the season 10-0, capturing the George Mason Invitational and beating out-of-conference teams […]
It’s almost midnight on a Wednesday, and the Health and Wellness Center second floor multi-purpose room is packed. But there’s not a sweaty T-shirt in sight. No spandex shorts. Not a mat or exercise bike either. Three boys stand close to the full-length mirrors lining the walls in garb not traditionally seen in the campus […]
Iowa’s Supreme Court ruled 4-3 late last month that victims of a controversial, 66-year-old study could sue the University of Iowa, citing the state’s own legislation as support for its decision. The 1939 “Monster Study,” as the experimenters came to call it, was led by a professor and graduate student who hypothesized that children would […]
In the last homestand of the season, the GW women’s soccer team needed two wins to be in contention for the Atlantic 10 tournament.

The University Police Department employs several GW graduate students who want to get a taste of law enforcement while pursuing their master’s degrees. Students take on jobs at UPD for a variety of reasons, including job experience or just to make a living. Working for UPD can be a particularly attractive option for students studying […]
GW, which has a freshman class that is 43 percent male, is one of a growing number of schools experiencing a decline in male enrollment – a trend that one study says could result in a smaller skilled labor force and an overall reduction in economic growth. For the last five years, the number of […]
A GW student was released from D.C. custody and placed under home detention after allegedly striking and kicking another student in the face and body earlier this month. Junior Chad Dauman, a transfer student from the State University of New York-Albany, was released Wednesday to his father following his hearing at the D.C. Superior Court, […]
Because of incorrect information provided to The Hatchet, the SA brief “Shakour aide sued for not fully releasing financial documents” (Oct. 20, p. 2) incorrectly characterized the plaintiff of a 1997 Student Court lawsuit. The plaintiff was the editor of the now-defunct Independence Magazine, not a Hatchet reporter. A photo caption accompanying the article “The […]
