The Student Association is proud to announce to the launch of G-Voice, the newest way for students and other members of the GW community to let the SA know what problems they want addressed. The Richardson-Costigan administration has stressed their desire for enhanced communication between students and their representatives, and G-Voice represents a major step in that direction. Students will be able to post a comment about what issues they face on campus. Other students will be able to vote for the issues that they think are the most important, and SA representatives will be able to respond as quick as possible. Check Out G-Voice.

The University has finalized the changes for the J Street revamp, overhauling almost every food venue in the often criticized dining hall, with an additional promise of longer hours and more seating options.
