Senior Logan Dobson urges incoming freshmen to make the most of Colonial Inauguration, because it won’t happen again.
While this may seem like strange advice to give you during your intense three-day orientation program, the most important thing to do during Colonial Inauguration is to stop and take it all in.
After all, CI is a one-of-a-kind experience. I mean that literally. You will never go through anything like this again. And very little of what you see at CI will remotely resemble your GW experience.
That is one fantastic article! Thank you Logan Dobson for telling it like it is with good humor.
I completely disagree. Clearly, the writer is bitter or remorseful about his CI experience as all he can notice is the bad in some of GW’s top leaders. While I respect his opinion, I must disagree with all he writes. The Colonial Cabinet are some of the realest, most down to Earth students on campus. There is a reason GW picks this group to represent them.
Mr. Dobson must have a hidden prejudice against the cabinet based on all of his assumption which are pure ignorance and blatant lies.
No, you’re wrong GDUB. Most of the CI people are the administration’s kiss-asses (call them PAFs in training) and are definitely the most phony folks I’ve ever spoken with. That’s not just counting my freshman year. I’m including all the CI folks during my time at GW.
Yea, Templeton – they’re PAFs in training because they are some of the people who have stepped up and really become involved in the GW Community, and that kind of dedication and leadership is admirable stuff. Ripping on them for being involved is pretty pathetic. Administration’s kissasses? At least they’ve gotten involved enough to know the administration – taking your college experience into your control like that is a smart and respectable thing to do and these people are almost certainly going places.
I appreciate the humor Logan, but GDUB is right….sounds like you’ve just turned bitter against the school. A lot of things you’ve said are true but theyre not all bad things either – and I doubt the freshmen really needed you to play buzzkill…
