Georgetown has more than 2,000 brand new alumni -- including the first from the Doha, Qatar campus -- after the university’s 210th commencement exercises.
Each of the university’s nine schools, plus the McDonough School of Business’ MBA program, held individual ceremonies to honor their graduates. The Washington campuses celebrated commencement weekend May 16-17, while the School of Foreign Service-Qatar held its inaugural graduation on May 9.
Former Senator Charles Hagel (R-Neb.) delivered the address, telling the class that they were graduating at special time urged them to take the opportunities presented to them.
