Students and faculty members joined more than 6,700 people in the 23rd annual AIDS Walk Washington early Saturday morning. The event, which started at Freedom Plaza at 13th and K streets, shut down K Street as participants walked towards the U.S. Capitol to raise funds and awareness for HIV/AIDS, which studies have shown affects one […]

Weather has a huge impact on how we dress for the day. You certainly don’t want to put on your brand new studded flats or buttery soft leather jacket when there’s an 80 percent chance of rain.

Both libraries will work together to digitize the collection, said Martha Whittaker, head of technical services […]

We’re taking the challenge off campus and into the heart of the District as we continue to try to find the best pizza in D.C. While you might have to take a Metro ride to get there, these places are worth the trip. (See our rankings from last week of pizzas on campus.) First Place: […]

On Saturday, University President Steven Knapp held a “State of the University” speech for visiting alumni. This event was a great opportunity for graduates who wish to have a sense of where their contributions will help lead the University. In contrast, Knapp has yet to provide the same understanding to current students. This lack of […]
