“

Imagine a world led by Georgetown alumni who are inspired by our Jesuit mission to continuously serve humanity, who understand the complex issues facing mankind, and who have the tools, expertise, and relationships to solve them.

I want us to live in that world.

As Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business adapts to changes in the business world and across higher education, it is guided by a strategy that draws out its uniqueness and embraces an experience that is distinctively Georgetown.

We will shape the game we find and choose the game we play.

Georgetown McDonough will focus on the future of business and how best to prepare students and alumni to lead in that world. Additionally, we will support faculty in their pursuit of meaningful scholarship.

We will be guided along this journey by True North — delivering programs and initiatives that are good for our students and alumni or support scholarship that positively impacts the world.

In pursuit of True North, three principles will guide Georgetown McDonough: being Smart, Innovative, and Distinctive.

Together, we can partner on this journey of discovery and exploration to ensure our Georgetown McDonough community strives to be the best in the world and the best for the world.

SMART.

We will build agility into our organization; strengthen our commitment to programs that serve the needs of our students, alumni, and faculty scholarship; and experiment with the programs we offer, markets in which we compete, and the rich interactions we cultivate for our community.

INNOVATIVE. We will explore new approaches to teaching; expose students to entrepreneurial and systems thinking; and embrace technology, both to facilitate teaching and learning as well as in our own operations.

DISTINCTIVE. We will recognize our niche and play to our strengths: WASHINGTON, D.C., AND OUR COMMUNITY

We can better leverage the global capital city of Washington, D.C., as an extension of the classroom and our research agenda. Additionally, our own community of alumni and parents bring a wealth of knowledge to other Hoyas.

GEORGETOWN EXPERTISE AND IDENTITY

Georgetown is a community of top schools across fields. Solutions to the world’s important challenges will be found at the intersection of disciplines.

Working across programs, we can make an impact.

JESUIT VALUES

Our Jesuit values create a sense of mission, foster community, and create distinctiveness. This identity is a foundation from which to strengthen our collaborative community and positively impact the lives of others.
