Our Mission

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 Veterans Office was established in 2011. The leadership of military-connected students, faculty, and administrators have worked diligently to create a campus culture to assist 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 Veterans Office 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. The Veterans Office connects military-connected students with the resources they need to successfully transition from military service to classroom to career. 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.
