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. As a result, the University established the Military and Veterans’ Resource Center in 2011. 

The Military and Veterans’ Resource Center (MAVRC) strives to improve the quality of life of Georgetown’s near 1,300 military-connected students by providing the necessary support services to successfully navigate the military-to-civilian transition and operationalizing the Jesuit value of Cura Personalis to foster a military-inclusive campus community.

The MAVRC provides support through six major activities:

  • Admissions Support: Through individual appointments with our staff, application materials review, campus tours, and connection to admissions staff and current students, the MAVRC helps prospective military-connected students through every step of the admissions process from identifying the right program and applying to enrolling and starting classes.
  • Student Transition Support: Through individual appointments with our staff, advising sessions with our director, and connection to resources, the MAVRC helps students navigate the military-to-civilian transition, the high school to ROTC transition, and others to ensure a smooth move to higher education.
  • ROTC Support and Advising: The MAVRC works with the cadre and cadets at the Army, Naval, and Air Force ROTC programs to support programming, logistical needs, and advising. Through our director and ROTC support team, our office helps Georgetown cadets and addresses their unique needs as they balance college and military requirements.
  • Resource Assistance: The MAVRC helps students navigate the overwhelming sea of resources to find assistance with any problem they may be having. From military leave of absence support to academic and personal support, our staff advises students and helps connect them to experts in their program and in other offices across the University.
  • Events and Partnerships: The MAVRC hosts both social and professional development events and maintains organizational partnerships to support students’ transition and build a military-inclusive campus community. Our events include, but are not limited to, a Veterans Day Ceremony, military-connected student graduation gala, tailgates, a veterans’ retreat, and employer chats. We are also university partners with Dog Tag Bakery, Warrior-Scholar Project, and the Pat Tillman Foundation.
  • Career Services: Through professional development programming like employer chats and individual appointments with our staff and director, the MAVRC helps students identify opportunities and assists with future education and career planning.
