Just in time for their long-awaited North American tour, Canadian indie rockers Hot Hot Heat have released their third major album. Long-time fans of the band will be satisfied with danceable and clever tracks like “My Best Fiend” and the lead-off single “Let Me In,” but there is nothing repetitious about this album. This is […]
Like many of the films it features, the D.C. Shorts Film Festival has a fantastic director and an intriguing story, breaks new ground and reaffirms old friendships – and is over all too soon. The festival, which screened 89 short films over the competition weekend of Sept. 13, culminated in an awards brunch Sept. 16. […]
With a significant win against Santa Clara and a one-goal loss to No. 11 Bucknell already under its belt this season, the men’s water polo team is off to a promising start, just as it was last year. What head coach Scott Reed hopes to avoid is a repeat of the team’s seven-game losing streak […]

From former University President Stephen Joel Trachtenberg’s luxury Lexus SUV to the current president’s energy conscious Prius – change at GW is evident.
