Most GW students return to campus after a month of relaxation. The women’s basketball team showed on Sunday how they spent their winter break: winning. The Colonials’ 64-58 victory over visiting Xavier gave GW its eighth straight home win and ninth triumph in their past 10 games. They are also the only undefeated team in […]
Altruism rarely caters to the college student’s budget. While we are asked, as citizens, to donate to charitable causes – as undoubtedly we would – we often discover ourselves short on what is needed most: time and money.

The Hatchet, starting this Thursday and continuing for every Thursday of the semester, will feature a small […]

Fundraising for Phase I of the construction, which will include a labyrinth, is completed; groundbreaking will take place shortly.
