Designed entirely by students and for students, The Rival is GW’s very first alternative source for news, opinion, and entertainment. Our aim is to provide the GW community an inclusive and open platform for discussing issues and ideas

that matter to the student body but up until now have not had an outlet. The Rival consists of everything from editorial opinion pieces, real-time news analysis, satire, and things to do in the DC area. We will cover stories both in the Foggy Bottom community and other news items that we find pertinent to our readers. Pieces will come primarily through submissions from the GW community (yes, that means you!) and The Rival’s own committed team of contributors and editors. You can submit pieces through the Rival’s website, which will be live by the beginning on March 27, 2014. We are also looking for regular contributors, so you’ve always dreamed of having a weekly column of your very own, or if you have an expertise in a particular field that you want to share, this is your chance! (And not to state the obvious but having published writing material doesn’t look too shabby on a resume…). We’re looking for pieces that YOU would want to read, and things that impact your live as a young person, not necessarily limited to things that happen at GW…everything from student loans to sexting, lets hear it.

New year? Time for more scandals. Read Elsha Aemero's write up of GW's messiest moments.

The Heartbeat Act egregiously infringes on a woman’s right to abortion, writes Molly Wilhelm. Check out her latest on Texas' new law.

This new legislation fails to acknowledge substantial realities that a multitude of women face daily on a statewide, nationwide, and global level. The law disregards and disrespects women who have experienced sexual assault and sexual violence within their lifetimes.

Greek letter organizations might share their names with Covid variants, but they are not the same! "Just because we’re throwing parties and spreading COVID doesn’t mean we’re creating the variants."

“Just because we’re throwing parties and spreading COVID doesn’t mean we’re creating the variants,” said a member of Tau Kappa Epsilon.

Even for those of us who have lived on campus before, there have been plenty of changes around Foggy Bottom that serve as a reminder to how long we’ve been away.

The coronavirus doesn't cut equally. It tragically exacerbates preexisting inequalities in healthcare, housing, and the workplace, especially for Black and Brown communities.

The interconnectedness between systemic oppression within the United States and COVID-19 rates is undeniable, and Black Americans are sadly subjected to the gruesome realities of two pandemics at once: racism and the coronavirus.

Next year will be the 20th anniversary of 9/11. Before that, we have to come to terms with the huge rise in Islamophobia that accompanied the event.
Read Molly Wilhelm's latest here:

The events on September 11, 2001 unleashed a wave of patriotism the country hadn’t experienced in decades. However, there was (and is) a dark side to that American spirit: a fury of Islamophobia and xenophobia.
