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 [caption id="attachment_4133" align="aligncenter" width="652"]

Get to know the university better by visiting with faculty! Most Georgetown departments will have booths with information on classes to take. Not only will departments and other extensions of the university be present, but local organizations outside the university (restaurants, schools, and churches) will also be represented. Get to know the local businesses and who the community leaders are!
