How to Be a

By Jessica Stahl

With midterms looming on the horizon and job applications already hanging over our heads, it is hard not to question whether we’re doing all we can to succeed at SAIS.  Is our hard work enough, or will it be the obnoxiously overzealous kid who gets the good recommendations, the good networks, the good job leads?   
What, in the end, do our professors actually want from us?

Great Success!

The SAIS Observer website/SAISgeist Launch Party is an unequvical success! It is already being hailed as the best party of the semester by the editors of one of the school's most influential publications.*

Three hundred and fify dollars worth of food catered by Zorba's Greek Cafe disappeared in less than five minutes, without the editors getting any, which goes to show that we may be first with the campus news but we are the last with the food.

We would like to thank all of those who took part in the planning and preparation of the party, especially the SAISgeist bloggers, as well as those of you who came out and showed solidarity with the school's most respected publications. Even those of you who got to the souvlaki first.
