Entering winter break, the Colonials were ranked No. 19/18 in the Associated Press and ESPN/USA Today polls, respectively. Since then, GW has climbed eight spots in the AP poll, and four spots in the ESPN/USA Today poll. The AP poll released on Jan. 15 for the previous week’s games had the Colonials at 11; the […]

CNN announced earlier this month it is ending its six-year contract with GW a year early because of programming changes. “Reliable Sources” will no longer have its monthly, audience-interactive special taped in the Jack Morton Auditorium come February. Within the past two years, the 24-hour news network canceled the program’s two predecessors, which were also […]

There was a rare moment of respite for Karl Hobbs Saturday afternoon. The GW men’s basketball team just laid an 80-63 beating on St. Bonaventure at Smith Center after losing to Massachusetts three days earlier in Amherst, Mass. When asked if he was happy with his team’s execution against St. Bonaventure, Hobbs thought for a […]

Commencement will be held on the National Mall for the second year in a row, University officials said last week. Last year’s ceremony was moved from the Ellipse – the large circular lawn south of the White House – to the Mall because of renovations. Nearby construction may continue into May of this year, which […]

I’m looking forward to graduating for many reasons, but one of them is that I’ll no longer have to deal with GW housing. I wish I had left it behind two years ago, never looking back at its myriad bureaus and frustrating policies. Don’t make the same mistake I did – move out while you […]

It’s the end of an era. CNN is terminating its partnership with GW – one that presumably attracted hordes of students to the University. Following the loss of this valuable recruiting tool, administrators must wisely choose a new partner to make use of the Jack Morton Auditorium. Part of the allure of the terminated partnership […]

Some say the horrors of Sept. 11 have similarly shaped Generation Y and will give us an honored place in history alongside our World War II grandparents. But the political cynicism prevalent on GW’s campus […]

The New Year is bringing a new housing selection process for returning students that will more closely resemble the way rising freshmen receive rooms. The lottery system, whereby students chose available rooms during time slots governed by randomly assigned numbers, is being replaced by an assignment system called iHousing (“i” for individual). A computer program […]

Students can now buy coffee all night long in the heart of campus. The Starbucks coffee shop located in the ground floor of Gelman Library will be open 24 hours during the week in a 90-day trial period, said Robert Howell, a Starbucks district manager. The store will be the first 24-hour location in D.C. […]
