Georgetown Women in Medicine (GWIM) seeks to strengthen the role of women faculty at Georgetown University Medical Center (GUMC) by addressing challenges experienced by women faculty including the proportion of women in key leadership positions, pay inequities, retention during childbearing years, and challenges in obtaining promotion and tenure. GWIM mentors women faculty, hosts professional development programs, and communicates GWIM’s activities to the Medical Center.

The Office of Mission and Ministry contributes to the development, animation, and coordination of the University-wide process of maintaining and promoting the Ignatian heritage, the Catholic identity and the Jesuit mission of the University. In keeping with the mission, the office will develop programs and initiatives, which engage students, faculty, administration, staff, directors, regents, alumni and donors in the understanding of our religious identity and commitments. In addition, the Office of Mission and Ministry will serve as a locus for service to the Catholic Church and the Society of Jesus, as well as supporting University-based programs, which encourage interreligious understanding and dialogue.
