As the undergraduate student kickoff to Homecoming Weekend, Traditions Day is the perfect way to celebrate Georgetown. The student-run 1634 Society leads this introduction to the many traditions that make the Hilltop home for so many Hoyas. More details to come soon, but students can expect food, performances, fun, and an event you won’t want to miss!

Struggle is with us always. Today we celebrate transcending. Join Fr. Kemp, along with fellow Hoyas, for a peak into his popular class, Struggle and Transcendence.

Black Americas: The Psychic Holds of Slavery examines what it would mean to “get over slavery” and whether “getting over slavery” is even possible or desirable. We consider how the perception of the psychic holds of slavery function as mental manacles that hold us back from imagining (and experiencing) a post-racist America. Related, we will also conceptualize the psychic holds of slavery as tools that assist us in understanding the systemic racial inequalities and restricted liberties that persist in the present day. This course insists that our understanding of the past informs our understanding of the present—and vice versa. Spanning historical epochs from the antebellum period to the 21st century, we will place slavery’s historical legacies in conversation with twenty-first- century manifestations of anti-black violence, dehumanization, social death, and racial (in)equity. Our examination of black cultural modes of expressivity thus considers how artists grapple with questions of representation, as they ask whether slavery can ever be accurately depicted, trace the scars that slavery has left on a traumatized body politic, or debate how to best convey that black lives matter. The course thus raises provocative questions about how we behold the historically distinct event of African diasporic enslavement and how we might hold off the trans-historical force of anti-black domination.

Georgetown University College Democrats & College Republicans are proud to bring back our tradition of our inter-club flag football game at Homecoming. Come watch GUCD & GUCR members Friday afternoon in a thrilling match on Copley Lawn!

Every generation has its challenges — sometimes existential. Currently we are experiencing an obvious worsening of the global climate crisis, political polarization that resulted in an actual insurrection of the U.S. Capitol, increasingly brazen incidents of racism, obscene wealth inequality, and brutal cancel culture. It’s taking a toll on us psychologically and sociologically. Depression, anxiety and overwhelm are on the rise and we are experiencing an epidemic of loneliness. How do we live our best lives and contribute to the common good under such grueling circumstances? If we are to turn the tide we must be in top shape and that means we must reclaim our joy! There are ways to do that. Joy is contagious, let’s spread some around!

Gather with members of our Black alumni and student communities for an evening of meaningful conversations. Join us as we create a vibrant space that bridges generations and fosters connections. This is your chance to learn more about the Black Alumni Council’s impactful initiatives and bond with fellow alumni and students. Light appetizers and soft drinks will be served. This event is hosted by the Soul Hoya Committee of the Black Alumni Council.

The Corp welcomes back all alumni returning to campus for Homecoming weekend on Friday September 29th. Please join us in the newly reopened Hilltop Taproom for snacks and drinks as we celebrate 30 years of coffee services at The Corp. Our event will run from 5:30pm-7:30pm and families are welcome!
