Welcome home, Georgetown. We hope you all had a great summer break, but now it’s time to get back to work — that goes for the administration and Department of Public Safety, as well.

Those of you new to the Hilltop have come to a place that is much more than a school; Georgetown is a community, and, for many of us, it’s a home.

Cheers to new MSB building

A common theme we’ve harped on this year is Georgetown’s constant lack of adequate space for its students, but there is a beacon of hope growing next to the Leavey Center: the new home of the McDonough School of Business.

Rarely do things occur at Georgetown that truly warrant outrage. But after incidents like the one that transpired this past weekend, the only emotion that can be felt is anger and fear. It is the student body’s duty to take this anger and put it to constructive uses.

A word to the wise Hoya: Take mental notes. Keep a diary. Snap some digital photos. Because the way things are going, the traditional form of documenting our time at Georgetown, the yearbook, may soon only be a shadow of its former self.

What was once a shining star at Georgetown has dimmed to a barely noticeable glow, but some students believe that it can make a reappearance.

As the year draws to a close, observant students can draw many lessons from the past year’s trials and tribulations.
