Events

The Military and Veterans’ Resource Center (MAVRC) hosts several events that are designed to build camaraderie and support a military-inclusive Georgetown. Every year, the MAVRC will host the following events:

The MAVRC will also host ad-hoc events with prospective employers, military and veteran support organizations, as well as professional workshops and guest lecturers on topics of unique interest to our military community. We will typically promote these events via the MAVRC’s campus groups newsletter or Instagram. In the past, such events have included:

  • Employer Chats: An opportunity for students to connect with employers who are looking to hire military-connected students in any degree program. Past partners have included the Washington Nationals MLB Franchise, UBS, and the Government Accountability Office (GAO).
  • Tailgates: A social gathering with food and drinks hosted before various Georgetown sporting events.
  • Veterans’ Retreat: A weekend at Meadowkirk Retreat Center with Campus Ministry and our veterans chaplain to connect with other military-connected students and reflect on shared experiences.
  • Federal Resume Training: A session with a former hiring manager at DHS to review resumes and go over best practices for veterans in the federal government hiring process.
  • Army Reserve Career Advising: A presentation by current Army Reserve Officers to discuss how the Army Reserve functions as opposed to Active Duty, career management, pay differences, and general mission sets.
  • Military Mentorship Panel: An event with AllTru and special operations veterans to discuss leadership and lessons learned with ROTC cadets.
