Lohser finds balance with tennis, academics

With his neatly styled hair and GQ attire, senior Marc Lohser (MSB ‘03) looks more like a young professional than a college athlete. Yet every morning at 8:40 a.m., Lohser can be found on the tennis courts practicing with Georgetown’s men’s tennis team, just as he has since he was a first year.

I hate ‘Kumbaya’

I got a letter in the mail the other day. Usually, seeing my name on an envelope is like my birthday and Halloween all in one, but reading this particular letter was punishing, mean, even degrading.
