Accepted Students Reception on Saturday, April 24, 3 p.m.


We wanted to invite everyone to a reception honoring newly admitted students to Georgetown. Accepted students, waitlisted students, their families, and all Georgetown Shanghai alumni are encouraged to come and welcome the new students into our community.

It is a big accomplishment to get admission into Georgetown University, and many of the students will have several outstanding choices to consider this spring. We hope that gatherings like this will demonstrate the strength of the Georgetown community, and the warmth of the welcome they will receive in Washington DC in the fall.

Accepted Students Reception
Date: Saturday, April 24
Time: 3:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.
Location:
Alumni Lorena Valencia has kindly volunteered to host the event.

Present Georgetown students will be contacted through a variety of methods, including emails to Chinese majors, Chinese classes, the career center, as well as China-related student clubs.

For alumni employers, this should be a great way to find great talent, as well as contribute to Georgetown.

Proposed Schedule
