In a yellow room on the second floor of GW’s Center for Integrative Medicine, Siddharth Shah instructs his class to repeat after him – “ho ho” and “ha ha ha.” “Okay, everyone, stand up, and ho ho, ha ha ha; HO HO, HA HA HA,” said Shah, as he leads his group through a variety […]
Sign of the Whale 1825 M St. N.W. I’ve heard that Sign of the Whale sells beer. I’ve been assured, by several sources, that this beer tastes like beer, and when consumed in large quantities, feels like beer. I have also been told that on several nights of the week, the M Street bar offers […]
The Board of Trustees created a formal search committee in order to facilitate the trustee nomination process and resolve a recent dip in membership.

As the presidential search committee mulls more than 100 nominations for the next University president, some of GW’s top administrators have their own ideas about the next person to fill the job.
