Many graduate students living in the Hall on Virginia Avenue say they’re moving out next year due to a large increase in housing rates.

When the game ended Sunday afternoon, sounds of her name filled Smith Center. Senior Kenan Cole should be used to it by now since Joe McKeown, GW’s head coach, has been screeching it from the sidelines for four years.

A decade – that’s how long it had been since the GW women’s basketball team went undefeated in Atlantic 10 conference play. And then came Sunday afternoon. The ninth- ranked Colonials defeated Temple 56-53 at Smith Center to finish undefeated in the conference and win the A-10 regular season title. The victory also gives the […]

Without a doubt, GW is a political campus. From students interning on Capitol Hill to congressmen speaking at the Marvin Center, GW is the school for future policy-makers, movers and shakers. Common summer jobs include campaigning and canvassing, and political science students seem to dominate campus – but maybe it’s just that we’re much louder […]

In its 42nd year, the event […]
