Dean Gillis Welcomes Students
August 30, 2009
Summer is ending on the hilltop and as students prepare to board planes, trains and automobiles to come home to Georgetown, some eagerly anticipate the end of their college careers, while others celebrate the beginning. This is the time of year when I send a special welcome to our seniors, the class of 2010, and our first years, the class of 2013.
For new freshmen and transfers students the campus tours are done. The applications are done. Checking the mailbox (or e-mail) for the acceptance letter is done. You are here, and you are officially a Hoya. Congratulations! We are delighted to welcome you to Georgetown College. As you get settled, the trips to Bed, Bath, and Beyond may still not be done, but consider yourselves home, a home we believe you will find to be exciting, challenging, and friendly. Since the day you were admitted, we have been waiting for you and preparing for you. You are the reason that we are here. A university is, first and foremost, its students and its faculty, and we have an exceptional group of both.
