On February 2, 2019, we welcomed back Georgetown alumni for the SFS Centennial College, in collaboration with Georgetown College and the Georgetown University Alumni Association. Alumni returned to the Hilltop for class, but without the exams! They chose foundation courses like Map of the Modern World, International Trade, Ethics and Global Politics, or The Problem of God, as well as thematic courses on The Future of Europe, The Challenge of Terrorism, or The Challenge of North Korea. Over lunch, they heard from SFS alumnus Mark Landler, White House correspondent at The New York Times, and closed the day with a Centennial Lab Experience on Development and Displacement, meeting some of the students from the class. Thank you to all the alumni and parents who joined us!
