[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]As a non-Catholic (and non-Christian) employee of Georgetown, I think what makes Georgetown special is that an explicit part of the strong Catholic and Jesuit identity is the inclusion of upholding “community in diversity” and embracing all faith traditions (and welcoming those of no faith tradition, as well). The chaplaincy includes Jesuits, an Orthodox Christian priest, Protestant ministers from every denomination, a rabbi, an imam, and leaders from Dharmic traditions. [/b]

There are residential ministers who live among the students, an extensive retreat program, and a wide range of sacred spaces. Obviously the largest portion of the student body is Catholic, and within that group you’ll find Hoyas for Choice and faithful attendees of the annual anti-abortion Bishop O’Connell conference (which Georgetown hosts). This page will give you a sense of the opportunities for Catholic students just within Mission and Ministry: https://campusministry.georgetown.edu/faith-traditions/catholic/

Your daughter might also want to look at the Spirit of Georgetown, a list of guiding values, all grounded in the Jesuit tradition: https://missionandministry.georgetown.edu/mission/spirit-of-georgetown/

Good luck to her!
