ABOUT
STUDENT AFFAIRS
The
Division of Student Affairs provides programs and
services to support students and enrich their learning
experience at Georgetown. Learning takes place in
all parts of students’ lives and is centered
in their academic experiences. This learning is enriched
by their living environments and their engagement
in a wide range of co-curricular pursuits –
from community service to athletics and from student
government to the performing arts. An array of services
is also there to support students – to assure
their health and wellness, assist with their career
development, and meet a variety of personal and academic
needs.
Working
with our faculty and staff colleagues, Student Affairs
strives to create a vibrant campus community. Our
staff and programs engage students in conversation,
reflection, and action – rooted in Georgetown’s
identity as a Jesuit and Catholic, student-centered,
research university. We view our students as citizens
in a diverse community and work to educate them about
making responsible choices. We encourage them to explore
the values, beliefs, and commitments that guide their
actions. Our work with students builds on the Jesuit
tradition of cura personalis – care of the whole
person
