Every Hoya Together: Georgetown Community Reunites on Campus for New Academic Year
Amidst a global pandemic that changed how we learned and worked for the past 18 months, Hoyas are safely coming together to share their unique experiences, reanimate campus life and explore the nation’s capital. Welcome home to the Hilltop.

Every Hoya Together
This past year, we found new ways to stay connected, share ideas and make a difference. And perhaps the biggest lesson learned is that no matter the distance, our Hoya community is stronger together.
Every Hoya Cares
As we return to campus this fall, it is important to support our mental well-being. Georgetown has resources to support, affirm and connect our community.
