10 Years Of GU Politics
In June 2015, Executive Director Mo Elleithee (SFS’94) announced he was forming an Institute of Politics and Public Service at the Georgetown University McCourt School of Public Policy. As we look back on a decade of GU Politics and look forward to the next 10 years, we have been reflecting on our slogan: Public service is a good thing. Politics can be, too.
Over the past decade, we’ve had…
Over 725of the top names in politics, journalism and government as speakers
117leaders from politics and journalism join our community as GU Politics Fellows
Over 910student leaders shaping GU Politics programs and initiatives
…and we’ve become known as a hub of political connection in Washington where people have productive conversations and learn from one another’s viewpoints.
10 Years of GU Politics Fellows
Since launching in 2015, GU Politics has welcomed 117 distinguished political, public service and media leaders to our community as GU Politics Fellows. These are some of their reflections on the Institute’s first decade.
10 Years of Dialogue
It may feel like people in Washington don’t talk to each other anymore. But here, we do. For 10 years, GU Politics has been giving students the chance to hear, share, respect and question different viewpoints, proving that ideological diversity and dialogue can still thrive in DC.
