The Office of Student Life develops and supports a healthy vibrant community within which Georgetown Students live, learn, and prepare for their life’s pursuits. This newsletter highlights some of the ways that Student Life fosters this community. As you may have heard me say, it is important that each of us think and even dream about the type of community we want Georgetown to be and then challenge ourselves to help create that community. We all share the responsibility of creating our community. The staff of Student Life are excited to hear from you on how we might come together to realize our community of tomorrow. — Dr. Curtis Sandberg, Dean of Students
