The WOW Caf? and Wingery on the fifth floor of the Marvin Center opened Wednesday after more than four months of delays. WOW is one of two restaurants on campus originally scheduled to open at the beginning of the fall semester, but faced construction and permit setbacks. Carvings – a sandwich and buffet restaurant similar […]
Blue October guitarist CB Hudson has always loved being on stage. Each night on tour, he stands besides his band mates and entertains packed crowds of young music fans. “As a kid, I always saw myself on stage making people smile,” Hudson said. The band may seem like an overnight success to those who just […]
With five weeks until the Student Association general election, four students have declared their candidacy for president. SA presidential candidates include juniors David “Tito” Wilkinson, a promoter for Jumpoff Productions; Casey Pond, director of the SA Dining Services Commission; SA Sen. Marc Abanto (U-At Large); and Michael Ray Huerta, a former Colonial Inauguration cabinet member. […]
The fate of GW’s 20-year campus development proposal is still unknown after the D.C. Zoning Commission voted to delay making any decision at a special public meeting Wednesday night.

This is nothing new for Post, a former CIA profiler of 21 years, who studied some of the […]
While on campus sporadically over winter break, I wasn’t surprised to find that Foggy Bottom was eerily quiet, a virtual ghost town compared to its usual bustle when students are not on break. I understand that the University, its students and its staff take up much of Foggy Bottom, but the lack of students did […]
Last semester, The Hatchet’s editorial board began a series of editorials to encourage debate on the selection of our next president. Since the last piece in this series, the presidential search committee selected Steven Knapp, provost at Johns Hopkins University, as GW’s next leader.
