Welcome to Georgetown, new SFS graduate students! On August 20, students from 10 of our graduate programs came together for orientation. In a plenary session in Gaston Hall, they heard from Dean Joel Hellman, Professor Anthony Clark Arend and a panel including Carla Koppell, vice dean for diversity, equity, and inclusion; Kurt Campbell, distinguished fellow in diplomacy; Sir Andrew Steer, distinguished research professor of the practice in environment and economics; and Zaid Zaid (SFS’97), head of U.S. public policy at Cloudflare.
The students also attended breakout sessions about SFS graduate certificate offerings, the SFS Career Center and building community in diversity. They closed out the day getting to know their new classmates in a reception in the ICC Galleria.
Thank you for joining us; we’re so glad you’re here!
