Accepted Students Reception

Dear Hoyas in Shanghai –
Below please find the invitation for this Saturday’s Reception for Newly Admitted Students. Hope to see you there!
Best, Caitlin Kelly

_________________________________________
From James M. Colman, Jr., Associate Director:

Dear Member:

I am pleased to invite you as a member of the Alumni Admissions Program to a reception to honor accepted students and their families from your area. I hope you will be able to join fellow alumni and other members of the Georgetown family in welcoming these students to our community.

As you well know, these students have achieved a significant accomplishment simply by virtue of their admission, and many of them will have several outstanding choices to consider this spring. It is our hope that gatherings such as these will demonstrate the strength of our community, and the warmth of the welcome they receive will persuade them to join us on the Hilltop in the fall.

Saturday, April 18th, 2009
3:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.

Please RSVP by Thursday, April 16th, 2009

Thank you for your continued support of the University through the Alumni Admissions Program. Your assistance with these programs is a great service and allows us to continue to bring the best students to Georgetown.

Sincerely,

James M. Colman, Jr.
Associate Director
