Office of Campus Ministry

Campus Ministry supports the integration of learning, faith, and service through a broad array of programs that engage students, faculty, staff, university leadership, and alumni in the understanding and practice of our religious identity, values, and commitments.

Each year, thousands of individuals participate in the programs offered by the Office of Mission & Ministry: retreats, seminars, lectures, national and international immersion experiences, service projects, and opportunities for worship and spiritual reflection on campus, on location, and online.

ESCAPE Retreats

ESCAPE is a non-denominational experience, open to students of all faith backgrounds and those who may not profess any particular faith. It is rooted in the Ignatian tradition of contemplation in action. ESCAPE’s Ignatian spirit invites students to reflect on where they are coming from, what gives meaning to their lives, and where they want to go during their years at Georgetown and beyond.

Loyola Retreats for First-Year Students

Inspired by St. Ignatius’ own story of meeting his best friends in college, Loyola is a Catholic weekend retreat welcoming all students in their first year at Georgetown who want to deepen their friendships and grow in their faith. Activities include Jesuit and student reflections, small group discussions on topics related to first-year student life, great food, and great company.

The community environment on all our retreats is always welcoming, respectful, loving, and fun!

The richness and multiplicity of Georgetown’s programs and course offerings may surprise or even perplex some students. The advising system is designed to help students make responsible choices about programs and courses and to ensure they are aware of all the opportunities Georgetown offers in the undergraduate curriculum. Each school has its own Dean’s Office, and within each office there are advising deans who primarily guide new students. Additionally, each student is assigned a peer (student) advisor and, depending on school, may be assigned a faculty advisor as well. Faculty and peer advisers, as well as advising deans, are there to provide guidance about courses, fulfillment of requirements, and choosing a degree program, as well as help aid in the transition process for new students. Throughout the semester, students will engage in meaningful discussions about academic goals and interests with their academic advisors.
