UC representative Tamar Holoshitz ’10, who organized Mental Health Week and is also a student representative to the College-UHS Advisory Committee, said she hopes the survey would identify key issues for UHS and improve individual health care experiences by fostering more communication between health services...

So each year, nearly three thousand Beltway tribe members and their guests gather at the Washington Hilton, the place where Ronald Reagan got shot, to dine with the current President of the United States and pretend for a night that we actually belong to a cool crowd, a hip scene, an exclusive network of movers and shakers that everyone wants to join...
