Global Engagement

Georgetown’s foundational commitment to welcoming students and scholars from around the world has fueled a remarkable transition over the past 50 years as we’ve grown from a leading national university to a truly global institution. Today, our university includes students and faculty from more than 135 countries, more than 180 study abroad programs, more than 250 academic partnerships with institutions across the world, and a global network of alumni.

As a global institution, we are called not only to sustain a diverse international community but also to engage with global challenges through research, teaching, and service. Donor support for the Office of the Vice President for Global Engagement will be critical as we seek to expand programs that facilitate student global experiences, foster intercultural and interreligious understanding, address global issues affecting children and families, and empower individuals in developing countries to improve their lives.
