Title: Andrew Debraggio (C’16) – Staff/AAP, Office of Communications

Andrew Debraggio smiles for the camera with his arms crossed.

“I’m a recent American studies and government major who works for the Office of Strategic Communications and Creative Services here on campus. My experience at Georgetown, as I wrote in my final undergraduate paper, can be described as ‘discovering the real.’ Be it learning about the world or learning about myself, I have encountered so many authentic experiences and people here at Georgetown. The four going on five years I’ve spent on the Hilltop have been a wonderful process of character development. I know I am not the same person now as I was when I came to this university, and I know I have not discovered the real. I am in the process of discovering the real, and always will be. I must continue to reflect, discern, and live a life characterized by love and concern for my common man. Administrators here, in my experience, bear this out everyday through their concern for students. I know it may not seem like it sometimes, but the administration truly cares about its students and I’m happy to work somewhere with such clearly defined values.”
