It’s been quite a year. A lot has happened at GW, in the District and to college students across the globe, and when big things happen that affect students, the editorial board tries to make sense of it all and spark discussion. In the past year, we’ve demanded the resignation of University President Thomas LeBlanc. We’ve recapped the good, the bad and the ugly of GW’s 200-year history. We called on GW to institute a vaccine mandate months before that decision was made. And we’ve endorsed candidates for the Student Association’s top jobs. Each week, we inform the community, challenge our readers’ preconceptions and advocate for the well-being of students.
