Georgetown University is proud to serve those who have served our country. Our office serves to support the opportunities of military members accessing higher education to ensure a campus culture that cares for the entire spectrum of military-connected students. The mission of our services is to instill the Jesuit spirit of cura personalis into everyday connections among the military-connected community.
The University recognized the need for dedicated support services to serve as a base of information and services to prospective, current, and alumni military-connected students, and out of that recognition, the Military and Veterans’ Resource Center was established in 2011. The leadership of military-connected students, faculty, and administrators have worked diligently to create a campus culture to assist in navigating the complexities of the education benefits, transitioning to a new academic environment, adjusting to Washington D.C. or virtual learning, establishing relationships with other military-connected students on campus, and connecting with career opportunities while enrolled and post-graduation.
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 close to 1,400 military-connected students including servicemembers, veterans, and military families. Our office serves as a liaison and advisor to ensure prospective and current military students receive accurate and comprehensive information around admissions, finances, academic support, career networking, and support services.
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, partnering with the MAVRC, or anything relevant to military-connected students, consider a one-on-one appointment with MAVRC staff or the Director. Appointments are generally held virtually and you don’t have to be committed to Georgetown for an advising session.
Newly-admitted students are encouraged to join the MAVRC on Campus Groups–the University’s engagement platform. The MAVRC will communicate relevant events, scholarships, and opportunities to currently enrolled military-connected students via Campus Groups.
The Georgetown Military Network (GMN) provides the space to connect Georgetown students and alumni service members, veterans, and military families for military-to-civilian transition mentoring and career development opportunities. Connections can include alumni to student, alumni to alumni, and student to student to enrich our Georgetown Military and Veteran Hoya community.
No upcoming events are scheduled.
