A Letter from the Vice President
Dear Parents and Family Members,
The Hilltop is a bit quieter now, as we have wrapped up another exciting academic year at Georgetown. Students have packed up their boxes, moved home or to new cities for internships and jobs. We sent our graduates off with a remarkable Commencement weekend, and we’re already preparing for the arrival of the Class of 2013!
As we look back at this year in Student Affairs, there are several student achievements, staff accomplishments, and new initiatives worth celebrating. These range from the Relay for Life and the Tunnel of Oppression to a journey of service to El Salvador. We showcase students who earned the Lena Landegger Community Service Award, and describe a unique “green” initiative. We also highlight the wonderful contributions made by parents.
As you read these articles, please keep in mind that they are just a small sample of the generosity, creativity, and intellectual curiosity that make Georgetown such a special community. I hope you and your student have a wonderful summer, and wish you all the best in the year ahead.
Hoya Saxa,
Todd A. Olson, Ph.D.
Vice President for Student Affairs
