The program offers courses in music history, criticism, theory, recording arts, film, social justice and performance. We specialize in all forms of music associated with American Culture, including: jazz, rock, dance, film, popular musics from around the world, and music stemming from the Western European Tradition. Through this broad range of course offerings and numerous opportunities for community-building music performing activities the Music Program clearly reflects the intellectual, multicultural and international character of the liberal arts as Georgetown.

The Theater & Performance Studies Program at Georgetown has attracted significant attention for its unique curriculum (reflecting the political and international character of Georgetown), its commitment to social justice, its focus on adapting, devising and developing new work, and its cutting-edge student productions. The program encourages interdisciplinary learning about culture, politics and identity through the lens of performance research, community-based performance, play analysis and playwriting, stage direction, cross-cultural ensemble, solo performance, dramaturgy, design and multimedia production, and world theater history.

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.

SJP is a diverse group of students, faculty, staff, and community members at Georgetown University. Our group is organized according to democratic principles in order to promote justice, human rights, liberation, and self-determination for the Palestinian People.

As an advocacy group, SJP is committed to a core set of principles to which it expects its members to adhere. SJP believes that while the Palestinian people must ultimately be able to decide their future in Palestine, certain key principles, grounded in (a) international law, (b) human rights, and (c) basic standards of justice, are fundamental to a just resolution of the plight of the Palestinians. These include, but are not limited to, the full decolonization of all Palestinian lands, and the end of the Israeli occupation of the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and the Syrian Golan Heights. Furthermore, we advocate for the fulfillment of the right of return and repatriation of Palestinian refugees, as well as an end to the Israeli system of apartheid against the indigenous Palestinian population. Just as SJP condemns the oppression and discrimination underlying the policies and laws of the state of Israel, SJP rejects and condemns any form of hatred or discrimination against any religious, racial, national, or ethnic group. SJP is committed to fighting bigoted sentiments towards all marginalized students in the Georgetown community. Rooting its strength in the diversity of its membership, SJP welcomes individuals of all ethnic and religious backgrounds to join in solidarity with the struggle for justice in Palestine. SJP seeks to achieve these goals via educational events, advocacy, fundraisers, and direct action.

As a cultural group, SJP is dedicated to promoting Palestinian culture and the humanity of Palestinians. SJP holds that the appreciation and celebration of Palestinian history and culture is inextricably tied to the advocacy of Palestinian liberation. SJP seeks to achieve these goals via cultural events recognizing and celebrating Palestinian food, dance, arts, language, literature, and films. SJP actively encourages the Georgetown community to participate in this celebration in a manner which is non-appropriating.

The Georgetown Phantoms were founded in 1988 as an outlet for students to arrange and perform all varieties of a cappella music for all vocal ranges. Recognizing the unique and legitimate style of mixed-voice a cappella music, the founders felt there was a need for an arts group at Georgetown which would specialize in this type of performance. As Georgetown University's premier co-ed a cappella group, the Phantoms sing pop, rock, and R&B from a variety of artists at both on and off campus events and are committed to delivering the highest level of performance to spread music and culture.

The Women's Center supports and empowers students at Georgetown. Women are the majority of the student body, yet are often marginalized in the classroom and campus experiences. As a result, the Women's Center seeks to center the experience of women and educate the entire campus about gender dynamics that impact campus culture. We seek to create a more equitable campus for a more expansive notion of gender and gender roles. We serve students of all gender identities.

The Women's Center staff and LGBTQ Resource Center (new window)staff collaborate in order to holistically serve students. In particular, we focus on the following areas:

Education and Outreach: We provide trainings and workshops for faculty, staff, and students. We are happy to partner with your organization to help you think through how gender functions in your organization. We offer programs and events in collaboration with student groups, academic units, and other campus partners.

Student Engagement and Leadership Development: We offer programs that help students cultivate and develop their leadership skills and unique strengths. These include lectures, discussions, and retreats. Our student staff (link) are ambassadors of the Women's Center. They lead their peers in conversation and events.

Individual Student Support: Staff it available to talk with students about anything and everything. We can connect you with resources, or help you think through topics like what you want to major in, how things are going with your roommates, whether you want to study abroad, how to navigate conflict with a friend, and all of the other things that come with student life.

Health and Wellness: We work individually with students to help students address challenges and flourish at Georgetown. As a semi-confidential Title IX reporting space (new window), we also help students in crisis situations. A semi-confidential space means that son-identifying information about an incident of sexual assault will be shared with a Title IX Coordinator; you will not be contacted by a Title IX Coordinator. Additionally, we are here to help you navigate the University Bias Reporting system for incidents inside and outside of the classroom. We can connect you with resources on and off-campus.
Community Building: We are stronger when we come together. We seek to not only gather people together, but to build strong relationships marked by justice. Together, we can influence culture on the Hilltop.

Advocacy and Empowerment: We challenge oppressive ideologies and encourage a holistic approach to community building and education.
Alumni Engagement: We cultivate a community of Hoyas supporting Hoyas. In the Women's Center, we can connect you with alumni in roles of professional networking and mentoring.

In-office and Virtual Services: Stop by Leavey 327 or hop on zoom to talk with a staff member about personal topics, navigating campus culture, and academic issues. We also offer free pregnancy tests, period products, and snacks.

The Georgetown University World Percussion Ensemble exists to support the performance of percussive music on the University's campus and to educate both members of the ensemble and the Georgetown community at large about this unique musical niche. According to the interests of members, WPE's repertoire varies by semester but always draws from around the world — from traditional North American percussion literature to Afro-Cuban, Latin, African, Eastern, and European styles. Members hone their technical and improvisational skills under the skillful eye of Professor David Murray as they perform both written pieces and original ones that they have composed. WPE appears at many on-campus events and performs one concert per semester. Members of all musical skill levels are completely welcome, though students with previous musical or percussive experience are preferred.
