Racial Justice

“My time in the military taught me many things, but above all, professionalism, resilience, and confidence. It can be nerve-racking to start a brand new experience, especially when the military is so ordered and the path is preordained, but in the uncomfortable is where we grow.”

— Arthur Milhomens (B’24), veteran and first-generation student. Georgetown University is a proud participant in the Yellow Ribbon Program in partnership with the Department of Veteran Affairs to enhance access and affordability for militaryconnected students

“My role is to accompany student-athletes, coaches, and staff in support of their ongoing spiritual growth and formation. That means meeting them where they are. I walk alongside them and try to provide a compassionate presence in the midst of the joys and the challenges they encounter in their sports and in their overall lives.”

“The Community Scholars Program helps firstgeneration, low-income students establish community and increase their social capital and confidence so they can thrive in a highly competitive, predominantly white, affluent, elite atmosphere. The program has really elevated the university as a national institution dedicated to community and diversity.”

— Charlene Brown-McKenzie (C’95), director of Georgetown’s Center for Multicultural Equity and Access (CMEA), which supports students of color and is home to the Community Scholars Program

CMEA plays a crucial role in Georgetown’s ongoing university-wide effort to understand and address the legacies of slavery and discrimination, and to advance the well-being of Black, Indigenous, and people of color.
