Out with the old, in with the new

The Voice traditionally evaluates the performance of the outgoing Georgetown University Student Association executives by comparing their original campaign goals with their actual accomplishments.

When tradition and justice clash

As a member of both the Catholic and gay communities, the recent decision announced by Vice President of Student Affairs Juan Gonzales rejecting a center for gays, lesbians, bisexual and transgender students has left me perplexed.

A Brave New World of Information Technology

When the campus-wide Internet connection was accidentally severed on Tuesday of last week, the importance of technology in the lives of Georgetown University students had rarely been demonstrated so powerfully. Students were unable to send or receive email from family and others off-campus, nor were they able to conduct research, nor could they send Instant Messages to friends down the hall.

Canadian lit. 101

A friend of mine called the other day, just to chat. We talked and gossiped for a while. Then she said, “Well, Jen, the real reason I called is because I was reorganizing my father’s bookshelves this morning, and I realized that when you write a book, I won’t know where to file it.
