A Global Vision for Georgetown’s Future
Georgetown’s Catholic and Jesuit identity calls us to engage our academic mission in a way that responds to the needs and challenges of the world around us. Under President DeGioia’s leadership, the University launched new partnerships, programs, and initiatives that redefined what it means for us to be a global institution.
Georgetown University in Qatar
Our campus in Doha animates our global mission in new ways. Georgetown and the Qatar Foundation partnered in 2005 as part of a larger effort to establish Education City, a vibrant hub that now hosts eight universities and 13 schools. Our engagement in the region responds to Pope Francis’ call to build a “culture of encounter” in which our differences strengthen and enrich our shared pursuit of the common good.

Engaging our Latin American Community
Georgetown created the Latin American Board in 2006 in an effort to deepen the University’s engagement across the region and build innovative programs that empower a new generation of leaders. In 2021, through the generous support of Rolando (C’68, P’00, P’05, P’14, P’16) and Monica Gonzalez-Bunster (P’00, P’05, P’14, P’16), the Board established the Georgetown Americas Institute as a platform for dialogue and scholarship on Latin America and the hemisphere.

The Georgetown Global Health Institute (GUGHI) grew out of this Initiative and, through various public-private partnerships, now supports more than 600 individuals working at the intersections of health, law, policy, business, and diplomacy.
