The Georgetown University’s Military and Veterans’ Resource Center serves military-connected students as they apply to, attend and advance beyond Georgetown. The Hilltop is home to over 1,200 military-connected students, including service members, veterans, and military families. Our office serves as a liaison and advisor to ensure prospective and current military students receive accurate and comprehensive information about admissions, finances, academic support, career networking, and support services.
The Military and Veterans Resource Center (MAVRC) seeks to make Georgetown University the premier destination for military affiliated students in higher education through a combination of elite academics and superior student service in accordance with the spirit of Cura Personalis.
The Mission of the Georgetown Military and Veterans’ Resource Center is to support the recruitment and student success of all military connected students in all academic programs.
As a student resource and support office under the Division of Student Affairs, the Military and Veterans’ Resource Center (MAVRC) is committed to fostering and maintaining an environment where military-connected students, and the greater campus community, can become the best version of themselves. The MAVRC works with students directly through advising, connection to resources, programming and events, alumni engagement, and research and assessment. In living out these commitments, the MAVRC embraces students, staff, and faculty from all backgrounds and identities. This includes racial, ethnic, sexual, and gender identities, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, religious/spiritual identity, immigration status, indigenous heritage, disability status, age, and military affiliation/veteran status.
The Post-9/11 military-connected student population is the most diverse cohort in American history. As such, there is a myriad of identities and experiences that intersect with being a military-connected student. This unique intersectionality calls us to be mindful of our military-connected students’ individual needs, the types of support services we offer, and deliberate in how the MAVRC advocates and facilitates change. We are committed to seeking and receiving feedback from the military-connected students we serve. Therefore, please feel free to reach out and share your thoughts on how the MAVRC can better address our military-connected students’ individual needs.
If you have questions about admissions, making the civilian-to-military transition, registering for military benefits, or anything relevant to military-connected students, consider a one-on-one appointment with MAVRC staff or with the Assistant Registrar for VA Benefits, Rachel Cardwell. Appointments are generally held virtually.
Georgetown students can receive the MAVRC weekly newsletter by joining the MAVRC Campus Groups page. These weekly newsletters contain major MAVRC updates and events, MAVRC job postings for students interested in working in the center, fellowship and scholarship opportunities for military-connected students, and external veteran support services and programs.
