Business cards 

Business cards help you maintain communication with key contacts you meet. Your business card should include:

• Your name
• Your graduate program
• Georgetown School of Foreign Service
• Your contact information. 

Ordering business cards with the Georgetown University seal is easy and relatively inexpensive. Some graduate programs will facilitate your order while others have negotiated price cuts with certain vendors. Contact your program coordinator directly to see how your program can assist you.
