Mission
Our mission is to encourage and empower Georgetown students to give back to the Hilltop. We believe that philanthropy at Georgetown includes: participation, loyal giving, and giving to areas on campus you care about. By building a habit of contributing what we can, we aim to foster the Jesuit value of service to others. The 1634 Society also seeks to celebrate traditions here at Georgetown. By hosting a number of signature events on campus each year, including Traditions Day, a component of Homecoming Weekend, we help keep the history of Georgetown alive with each new class. Lastly, the 1634 Society works to connect students and alumni to one another. Through alumni panels and networking sessions, we provide students the opportunity to learn from those who came before them and to make fellow Hoya connections.

ESCAPE is a first-year transition and reflection program designed to create a space for students to get to know their classmates and engage in conversation about the journey of college. Small groups, led by upper class mentors, foster a sense of meaning and belonging throughout the retreat as well as the rest of your Georgetown career.

A two-part experience, this retreat is designed as an escape from the virtual Hilltop. ESCAPE is accessible to people of all religious and non-religious backgrounds and reflection is a central part of the retreat experience. There will be talks from upper class team leaders and a faculty or staff member, followed by individual and small group reflection. Students reflect on the person they were before they became Georgetown students and who they want to be as members of the Georgetown community and beyond. There will be free time, time away from your screen, breaks, games, music, and more!

We are offering six different retreats this semester, one specifically for transfer students. Retreats take place over the course of a Friday and Saturday or a Saturday and Sunday, depending on the dates you choose. Each retreat consists of two meeting times that take place over Zoom (all times are EST):

Day 1) 6:00-10:15 PM

Day 2) 12:30-4:30 PM

Attending both sessions is important and will qualify you to be matched up with an ESCAPE alumni mentor. There will be opt-in opportunities (yoga, meditation, movie night, etc.) offered, outside of the designated times, over the course of the weekend if you’d like to join those too! The retreat Zoom link and other information will be shared with everyone who registered during the week leading up to the retreat. Questions?

The Multicultural Graduations are part of the official Georgetown University commencement schedule and are a way to bring students of color together for a final ceremony before graduation. Upon attending, each student will be honored with a stole. There are three ceremonies:

Asian Heritage celebrates the achievements of our Asian American and Pacific Islander graduates and allies of the Georgetown University AAPI community. It aims to recognize the achievements of the graduates, and celebrate the cultures and legacies that shaped their journeys here at the Hilltop.

Harambee is an annual ceremony dedicated to recognizing graduating seniors who identify with communities of the African Diaspora. This ceremony collectively celebrates the individual achievements of students in obtaining college diplomas and honors the community and legacy Black graduating students have created and actively cultivated here at Georgetown.

The Georgetown University Social Innovation and Public Service (SIPS) Fund is a $1.5 million student-run fund that allocates approximately $60,000 in award money every year to help students and alumni start their own social ventures. The mission of SIPS grows out of the Jesuit tradition of service to others.

Some of the past projects funded by SIPS include funding the Alternative Break Program (ABP), creating a book that offers representation for chronically hospitalized children, and backing a startup which decreased food waste by sustainably creating cold-pressed juices. Through its Summer Scholars program, SIPS has also financed proposals which have done important work such as improving cooking practices in Rwanda by bringing stoves to communities and tracking their usage, introducing a community garden in N.E. DC, and holding a theater workshop in France to help facilitate dialogue between French and refugee people living in Paris.
