The Georgetown University Grilling Society, or simply GUGS (the first "g" is soft, as in "genius") was founded in the Summer of 2002 with a few simple goals in mind, to create an organization attractive to Georgetown students who:

- want to meet new and exciting people
- want to learn more about the art of grilling
- want to share their knowledge of grilling with others
- want to be a part of a special Georgetown tradition
- want to have a good time

Since its humble beginnings as a 4-person club with one mysteriously-acquired grill, GUGS has grown into one of Georgetown's most popular social collectives. The members come first, fun comes second, while food conveniently binds them together.

Spring of 2004, GUGS was co-named Outstanding Student Organization of the Year.

The Caravel offers a distinct experience to students who want to learn more about journalism. As a newly-established publication, the Caravel is growing its staff, and there are many opportunities for you to make an impact!

Working for the Caravel promises to be a demanding but rewarding experience that helps writers interested in international affairs to become regional experts and provides hands-on experience developing a dynamic publication.

Positions Available

Editorial Staff
The editorial staff of the Caravel is responsible for the substance of the newspaper, operating on a weekly cycle, and is divided into seven sections, including six international sections and the United States. In addition, we also have a copy team that edits the content for all seven sections.

The United States: The United States explores domestic news and Georgetown events relevant to international affairs. As a writer for the United States, you will have the chance to obtain press passes to cover events both on- and off-campus. Writers for this section have previously covered events featuring former-President Bill Clinton, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former-President of Brazil Dilma Rousseff, and President of Liberia Ellen Johnson Sirleaf.

Regional Sections: There are six regional sections in the Caravel: Eastern Europe & Russia, Latin America & the Caribbean, the Indo-Asia-Pacific, the Middle East & Central Asia, Africa, and Western Europe & Canada.

Executive Staff
The executive staff is primarily focused on running the day-to-day operations of the Caravel. We have two main responsibilities: Marketing & Public Relations and Sales & Outreach. Our marketing and PR department deals with graphic design, ad positioning, in-school promotional efforts, and the management of the Caravel's relationship with other media organizations on campus. The sales and outreach department seeks to sell advertising space, attempting to find and solicit new advertisers for our newspaper.

Digital Operations
Digital Operations seeks to bridge the gap between traditional journalism and social media-based reporting. The section produces a world news review twice weekly, three thematic newsletters dealing with inter-regional trends, and special reports that cover international events in real-time.

Compass World: Compass World publishes a holistic review of global news on Tuesdays and Fridays and includes special reports that cover international elections, summits, and exclusive reporting.

Compass Gender: Compass Gender covers developments at the intersections of sex, sexuality, race, and class against the backdrop of international affairs.

Compass Futures: Compass Futures highlights how science and technology are redefining our world, bringing to the forefront new challenges in fields like global health, climate change, pollution, artificial intelligence, and more.

Compass Money: Compass Money delivers the latest news on international business, economics, and foreign trade.
