Dear Class of 2025: Congrats on your admission to GW – we’re sorry you have yet to see campus.
If you did not get a head start on campus tours before the COVID-19 pandemic hit, there are a few things to know about the University before sending in your initial deposit. For starters, come to GW if you don’t care much about sports. Steer clear of the University if you care more about your classes than your next internship. You’ll fit right in here if you love learning the ins and outs of a city and are involved in activism.

GW s chapter of Students for D.C. Statehood brings both Republicans and Democrats together to fight for representation for the District s 700,000 residents.
Updated: Feb. 4, 2020 at 1:59 p.m.
With Democrats gaining control of Congress and a new president, students say advocates for D.C. statehood have been emboldened with the prospect of establishing the District as the 51st state.
The topic of D.C. statehood has shot to the top of national attention over the past year, after the city received relatively smaller COVID-19 stimulus packages and lacked the authority to call in the National Guard when rioters supporting former President Donald Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol. Matthew Oberstaedt, the president of the GW chapter of Students for D.C. Statehood, said members are using that momentum to increase advocacy efforts by lobbying members of Congress and joining forces with other advocacy organizations.

Student Association Executive Vice President Brandon Hill, three members of the SA executive branch and at least 10 other student organizations are calling for SA President Howard Brookins to resign, citing “credible” claims of sexual misconduct against him.
George Glass, the vice president for financial affairs; Karina Ochoa Berkley, the vice president for sustainability and a Hatchet opinions writer; and Anna Adler, the director of student engagement, published a joint statement Friday night calling for Brookins to step down. The statement comes less than a week after three members of the body resigned last Saturday, claiming that Brookins’ “conduct and demeanor” created a “negligent and careless work environment” in the cabinet.
