Experience Georgetown in a different light -- mingle with the university as neighbors, students, and faculty get together and share the community!
While many college students often get comfortable within the bounds of campus and find themselves in their university's "bubble," Georgetown University has worked hard to create positive and lasting ties to the neighborhood. With this annual community day, the university is able to help establish those ties between the residents of Georgetown and the students, faculty, and staff of this storied school.
WHEN: Saturday, Sep. 16 | 11 a.m. – 1 p.m.
WHERE: Healy Lawn | Georgetown University
