The House of Representatives has voted to pass H.R. 51, the Washington, D.C. Admission Act, which would grant D.C. residents equal voting representation in Congress by establishing Washington, D.C. as a state. We are thankful for those who have made this historic vote possible.
Legendary Georgetown Coach John R. Thompson, Jr. was known for his civil rights activism and never-flagging support of his players. Today, we remember his impact on the game of basketball and the lasting legacy he left behind.
’Twas the night before Christmas, when all thro’ the Hilltop,
Not a Hoya was stirring, not even a bulldog.
The lights were hung by John Carrol with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas would soon be there…
Wishing our community in Georgetown and beyond a peaceful Christmas Eve.
Going forward, Georgetown will freeze investments in companies and funds primarily focused on the extraction of fossil fuels. Endowment funds will instead be invested in renewable energy projects that will play a vital role in addressing climate change.
When a student asked Bradley Cooper (C'97) to wish her mom a Happy Birthday, we don't think she was expecting him to jump off-stage, take her phone and offer selfie-style warm wishes. 😂
#CooperatGU
Georgetown will implement a new policy to cease new investments in fossil fuel companies and divest from fossil fuel investments over the next decade. This step is part of the university’s broad commitment to sustainability.
Answering the nationwide call of remembrance, we will ring the bells in Healy Hall to mourn and honor the 400,000 lives lost to COVID-19 at 5:30pm EST today.
