The Hatchet is our independently-run school newspaper that comes out twice a week on campus.
An interesting article that made its appearance this week was an article on group housing and how starting next year, certain groups on campus can elect to live together. "The program, known as
Affinity Housing, will allow GW-recognized student groups to live together in Ivory if they are juniors and seniors, The Dakota if they're sophomores, or Building JJ, which is for green-themed Affinity Groups only." As a resident in Building JJ, I can only vouch for how awesome it is to live with all your friends who have a common goal! You can read the article
here.
An alumni, on a sidenote, also donated some of their lottery winnings to our school. How sweet is that?
"The $1.1 million donation to the University will go toward financial aid, one of the most popular areas for people to donate to at the University, according to a news release. Cisneros' gift will put $1 million toward the Power & Promise Fund for financial aid, creating the Cisneros Scholarship Fund. Two incoming freshmen will be given $25,000 a year for the four years they attend GW. The scholarship is designed to
support Hispanic students from Cisneros' home state of California who are studying political science, his major at GW." I think it's awesome that GW will get more representation from the West Coast, because I'm lonely swimming in the sea of people from the East Coast.
