Welcome parents and families!

At Georgetown we care deeply about the growth and well-being of each student. And we know that parents and family members play a central role in students' lives. That's the reason that we have put together these resources for you, and we hope that you will find them helpful -- in learning about what's new on campus, how we move through the cycle of the academic year, and where to find answers to many of your questions. We know that you will be there for your student at many times during the academic year -- with a listening ear, thoughtful advice, and enthusiasm. We hope that this website will allow you to be there with a bit more information and awareness. Once again, welcome, and Hoya Saxa!
