Freshmen, would you like to live in Ivory Tower or anywhere else you want next year (with up to 3 friends)?*  Then come out to Freshman Game Night on Tuesday, February 23 as the GW Women take on St. Louis at 7pm in the Smith Center.  You'll be able to enter a drawing to win a TOP HOUSING ASSIGNMENT, receive a voucher for free concession stand food, and witness a special "Battle of the Campuses" half-time game coached by Dean Siegel and Senior VP Chernak (see below for more information).
