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.

Alumni Lorena Valencia has kindly volunteered to host the event.

Georgetown Club helped sponsor heart surgery for Anhui child (Heart to Heart Shanghai)

Ke Xuan LiangWe wanted to share a letter our previous club president, Caitlin, received from Heart to Heart Shanghai. Last year, the Georgetown club helped to raise money for heart surgery for children. The surgery for Ke Xuanliang cost more than 20,000 RMB, and the club was able to contribute donations through a special Georgetown bear sale.

Dear Caitlin,

I thought that you and your friends would like to know that the profit from your Georgetown Heart Bear order was used in August to co-sponsor heart surgery on a young boy named Ke Xuan Liang from Anhui Province.

With grateful thanks for your support
