Welcome to Georgetown, Families!


Dear Hoya Families and Supporters,

Welcome to the Georgetown community. Whether you’re dropping your student off for the first time, preparing for a graduation celebration, or somewhere in between, I want you to know how deeply you matter to this community. Your student’s journey at Georgetown is one of discovery, challenge, and growth – and, in many ways, so is yours.

Our Division of Student Affairs is here to join you in that journey. As your student encounters new ideas, responsibilities, and communities, I hope you’ll encourage them to embrace these moments with curiosity and courage, knowing they are supported by a network of caring faculty, staff, and peers. Our goal is to ensure your student is not just succeeding in the classroom, but is also finding belonging, balance, and purpose. 

Throughout the year, we’ll offer opportunities for you to stay connected – from Family Weekend in October to our bi-weekly Hoya Family Newsletters and a range of conversations and events designed to help you support your student’s transition and success.

Thank you for letting us be part of this journey with you, and for the love, encouragement, and perspective you bring. We’re so grateful to have you and your student in the Georgetown family.

All good things,

Dr. Eleanor JB Daugherty, EdD

Vice President for Student Affairs
